Inhumanity In Night By Elie Wiesel
Night rough draft
In the memoir, “Night”, the narrator Elie Wiesel recounts a moment when he saw body parts used as gun targets,” Without passion or haste they shot prisoners, who were forced to approach the trench one by one and offer their necks. Infants were tossed into the air and used as targets for the machine guns”(Wiesel6). Humans were killing their kind without mercy. As the author describes his experiences, many other examples of inhumanity are revealed.
One theme in “Night” is that inhumanity can cause loss of faith. As an illustration, in the memoir “Night” the narrator Elie Wiesel recounts a moment when he followed Judaism and he questioned himself,”Why did I pray? Strange question. Why did I live?

For example, Elie Wiesel couldn’t believe that people were being burnt and no one would do anything to stop it. Elie wiesel stated,” I pinched myself: was i still alive? Was I awake? How was it possible that men, women, and children were being burned and that the world kept silence?...”(Wiesel32). Burning human beings is something inhumane, Elie Wiesel found it unbelievable how people could live without saying anything about it, they had gotten so used to it happening that they eventually stopped caring. Likewise, at the beginning of the novel, Moishe the Beadle had escaped from the concentration camp and tried to warn the jews of the danger heading their way but they didn’t listen, “ But people not only refused to believe his tales, they refused to listen”(Wiesel7). Moishe the Beadle escaped and went to warn the others that germans were going to attack them, they didn’t believe him because they were convinced that the germans were sweet and caring. In conclusion, the overwhelming cruelty occurring in this concentration camp can cause disbelief.
It is not normal when infants are tossed into the air and used as targets, however, such a world exist when inhumanity is allowed to grow. The memoir “Night” also demonstrates that these inhumanitys can cause loss of faith and disbelief. If you were one of these Jews do you think you’d survive the whole
