Elie Wiesel in Night explains his horrific experience

Jews were at first subjected to humiliation such as having to wear a bright yellow star, having to shop at separate stores and have to attend different schools. They were later on alienated from the rest by being sent to live in the Ghettos. After a couple of weeks they were sent to the concentration camps. There Jews were starved to death, and there were many diseases because of how unsanitary and the hard labor that they had to do even during the harsh winters. All the valuables the Jews had were taken away from them. Families were split apart like what happened to Elie Wiesel in the memoir Night. When Elie and his family arrived to Auschwitz concentration camp, they were told that “Men to the left! Women to the right!” (Wiesel 29). Elie’s mother and his little sister, Tzipora went to the left line; after that it is assumed that they went the crematoriums, which is where the children, weak women, and weak men went because they were considered not worthy and beneficial enough to live. Hitler had destroyed the Jewish people faith in their God. An example of that is Elie’s “faceless neighbor” at the hospital, he told Elie, “I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his …show more content…
Many people tried to take revenge on Hitler for what he had done to their country. He was “dragging Germany down into a complete state of destruction.” Hitler didn’t want to take responsibility for Germany’s downfall so he blamed it on the Germans for “not passing the superiority test.” Hitler had committed suicide on April 30, 1945 with his wife Eva Braun, which he married a day before they both killed themselves. This proves that Hitler would not let himself go down with Germany, so he decided to kill himself rather than be brave and face the enemy. The SS officers in the book Night are exactly like their leader Hitler. When the resistance came, it was described by Elie that the battle did not last long. The SS officers had fled just like their Führer. He fled by killing himself and they fled by running away from the

    Hitler and the Nazi party wanted to annihilate the Jewish population. The Germans deemed the Jews to be “inferior” to them and they were an outcast in the German Society. During the Holocaust the Jews were treated horribly. During Elie Wiesel’s interview with Oprah, images are shown of the Jewish slaves dragging stones, their bodies no more then a few inches wide; starved. They lived on pieces of stale bread and some sort of mixture referred to as soup. Each Jew was stripped of their hair which was used to make cloths, etc. They were given one set of clothes to be worn all year long and were not allowed to be washed. On their way to the concentration camps, the Jews were stuffed into trains, 100…

    Elie Wiesel states “For in the end, it is all about memory, its sources and its magnitude, and, of course, its consequences.” The holocaust was the discrimination against the Jews from separation from their families to persecution to murder. This event happened during World War 2 around 1933 to 1945, in western Asia. Hitler believed the Jews were the cause of all Germany's problems and felt superior to them. My Holocaust sources will be coming from Night, Auschwitz Death Camp, "To the little Polish boy" and "First they came for the Communists". These texts made to me a reality of what may have seemed a dream. For any sane persons knowledge, such cruelty would be impossible for humans to inflict.…

    Hitler is arguably the worst person to ever live on Earth because he created camps that killed millions of people and Jews. Hitler used manipulation to convince the world and Germany that the Jews were bad and evil. This shows that Hitler had such a great amount of power, that he manipulated almost the entire country of Germany and a part of the world that Jews were atrocious and that they should be eliminated from planet Earth. This also shows that Hitler used his power in a negative way by using manipulation to kill millions of innocent people. When Hitler used his power in a negative way, it had a negative impact on the world and especially the millions of people and Jews who lost their lives. In conclusion, Hitler used his power that he gained from Germany in a negative aspect that then affected millions of people, Germany, and even the world. He was able to gain power and then use that power he gained negatively through…
