Night Final Response The Night is a science fiction story of a Jew named Eliezer who has to survive through the horrible things inside the concentration camps in the 1940’s. Throughout the story, the author shows the reader that there is a theme of silence that comes from people and God alike. One example of silence within the story is the horrors of the concentration camps. The Germans showed propaganda of what happened inside the concentration camps, which led to the Jews’ liberators being scared from what they saw. Another example of silence is the silence that Eliezer receives from God. At the beginning of the story we often see Eliezer praying, however when he was put into the concentration camp he started to lose faith in his power.
