complex nature of human intelligence (Zohar & Marshall, 2000, p. 1).

“Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust” (Wiesel 34). All of his experiences, from Sighet to his liberation at Buchenwald, are leading to faltering in his mind about whether or not the God he believes in is still there for him.

Eliezer never regains the same faith as in the beginning. At the begging of this memoir, Eliezer is so faithful he goes to the poorest person in town to teach him about Kabbalah: “Together we would read, over and over again, the same page of the Zohar.

Major events in people's lives can change them, but how would a concentration camp and a dead family change someone? Elie Wiesel’s book Night tells how he was forced beyond will to a concentration camp and changed forever. He went through unbearable conditions that tested his faith and hope. It is after seeing the tragic conditions in the camp that Elie drifts and is totally separated from his faith to God. Elie changed from a young God seeking boy, to a hopeless, Godless corpse. Before, when Elie

Serious events, such as war, can be so impactful that people affected by them feel they need to express their experiences for the world to better understand. For example, Elie Wiesel was encouraged to write Night to show the world the cruelty he experienced as a child in concentration camps during the Holocaust.

We would read together, ten times over, the same page of the Zohar. Not to learn it by heart, but to extract the divine essence from it”(Wiesel 3). It is evident that Elie is very interested in learning much deeper into the Jewish religion than to just memorize the words. He would ask another man of the Jewish to

Dehumanization is the process in which a person is deprived of their human qualities. The Nazis often used this practice on the Jews and other victims of the Holocaust as these people were stripped of their humanity, and many examples of this can be found in the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel. “Humanity? Humanity is not concerned with us. Today anything is allowed. Anything is possible, even with these crematories…”(Wiesel 15). This quote showcases the absence of humanity in concentration camps. The
