The first step in the final solution was making the jews feel apart from everyone by setting certain laws against the jews. These laws were the Nuremberg Laws. These laws targeted the jews and separated them from the rest of society. They would have to wear the yellow star on them which was the star of david, so you could spot them out.

Hitler plan to exterminate an entire race was doubted by so many people. Nobody believed it was possible. In the book Night it says “Yes we even doubted his resolve to exterminate us. Annihilate an entire people? Wipe out a population dispersed throughout so many nations?”(Wiesel 8). Hitler would go on to try to prove that he could get rid of entire race. Although he did not succeed he did kill a lot of jews. He would start by gathering them into ghettos. Then after that he would transport them to concentration camps. As you arrived at the camp it was time for the selection. The selection was to see if you lived or died. In the book Night It says “As the new arrivals enter the camp, a veteran prisoner advises Elie and his father to lie about their ages so they could be together. Another prisoner points to the chimney of the crematory and warns them that it is the place of their graves. He says, "'Do you see that chimney over there? See it? Do you see those flames? (Yes, we did see the flames.) Over there-that's where you're going to be taken. That's your grave, over there.”( Wiesel 28). Hitler’s plan to exterminate the jews was by using death camps to kill as many as possible. The final solution relates to this book because Elie was in the camps and witnessed it first

I learned a lot of new information while reading Night, there were many things I didn’t know about the Holocaust before that I know about now. I never knew much about the conditions of the camps or how the people were treated there, I just knew that they were dreadful places. Now I can have an image of the camps in my head, what it looked like for the people who had to live in these horrendous camps. They committed so many execrable acts on people, they performed experiments on people, murdered whoever they wanted, starved people and many more gruesome things. I didn’t realize how bad the conditions really were and how badly the people were treated.

The purpose of Elie Wiesel clearly stated in the novel called “The Night” is to aware people of this event that occurred toward Jews so they won’t create the same mistakes and ignore something that was so cruel. Elie Wiesel’s purpose is to aware people of what happened to Jews because many Jew’s refused to believe what they were being told about the Nazis which then resulted in a tragedy because of their ignorance.
