What Are The Effects Of Night By Elie Wiesel

Night by Elie Weisel is more than a narrative;it is a testimony of the Holocaust. Holocaust survivors were dying due to the circumstances that each one had to face. The Jewish people had an abundance of faith in God, but as they were presented with different hardships their abundance of faith started to disappear as other people started to question His existence. As he advances in his narrative of the Holocaust his perspective on not only life but on the society as he knew it, changes. Due to the tragic events he had to endure he is constantly reliving those moments that are eating him alive.

The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events that has happened in history from 1933 to 1945. The long lasting event affected not just Europe, but families

The Holocaust did not just impact survivors in that moment but it affected them for the rest of their life. Survivors remember memories and flashbacks that bring them back to that experience. Survivors did not only have mental damage but some physical damages that can take them back in time to that dark place. They faced starvation. They were dying. Natis said that it would be a waste to give them food so they didn't give them anything(Wiesel 34). Natis took control over their physical health.

Wiesel became a caretaker because his dad could not fight for himself and so Wiesel was giving him fluids and making sure he was well elimented. He found his dad and brought him some coffee after seeing that his dad burning with fever. Later on that day Wiesel decided to share some of his soup rotation with his dad. Wiesell never thought that someone could have so much hatred for groups of people, that they would try to kill them all. He Changed his whole view from a sensitive religious boy to someone who was spiritually dead and had no emotions. As he wanted to get closer to God, so God could help him he actually felt more separated from Him. He felt that after his dad died nothing really mattered to him. He felt like giving up because he knew that there was now way out and felt defeated. After his dad died all he wanted to do was to eat and he no longer thought of his mom or his
