The small town of Sighet, also known as Sighetu Marmatiei, is located today in Transylvania, Romania. Through the years, Sighet has had strong ties to the Jewish religion, just as it does today. The town has been part of both Romania and Hungary at times, and has seen a decreasing number of residents since 1944. During the 1940s, anti-Jewish sentiment was at its peak, with Adolf Hitler being the face of the anti-Jewish movement.

As Molching recovers from its first air raid, Liesel witnesses the parade of the enslaved Jews for the first time as they pass through the town on their march to a labour camp in Dachau. Markus Zusak’s bleak depiction of the scene is emphasised by the confronting imagery, muted by the overall absence of speech and the normalised degradation of the Jews. Presented without inner thoughts, the traumas of reality are illustrated plainly on their bodies and rendered all the more devastating in its overarching theme of loss.

The passage opens on a dictionary definition for ‘misery’, establishing a

In Wiesel’s Night, suffering forces people to make inhumane decisions, shatters hope, and destroys self identity. Suffering forces people to be put in bad places where they feel pressured to eventually make inhumane decisions.

The first of Alfred’s chiefs was Eldred, a Franklin by the sea who had been a valuable and mighty warrior in battle. However, his friends in battle had been killed, “broken about Ethelred,” and, after turning to alcohol to cope with his loss, Eldred had retired.

At this moment, Eldred found within himself the resolve to fight and unhooked his sword from high upon the wall.

Revenge for the Persian invasions of Greece (281)
