views. Elie Wiesel’s quote is easy to agree with because people should care about others‚ and pay attention to their surroundings. Even though people should think about others‚ they tend to put themselves first and do what is best for them. For example‚ there was concentration camps where Jews were placed due to the fact that Hitler believed they were guilty for Germany losing World War I. During this period of time‚ the United States was not aware of the Holocaust according to them. Elie Wiesel’s

The book “Night” and its topic of the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald is very essential to the story. Wiesel describes these camps with great detail and emotion which got my attention and curiosity. With the research I have collected I learned that Auschwitz and Buchenwald were two major concentration camps to the Nazis in Germany that were mainly for either executing prisoners or forcing them to work in a variety of different fields. These two camps were known more as complexes

one of the descriptions of what they did to the Jews. I believe that this quote has a very strong description of the inhumane things that the Nazis did to the Jews. It explains how they mercilessly killed them. It states‚ “Without passion or haste” (Wiesel 6) which indicates they used an extremely cruel tactic of extermination; slow and torturous. Without passion indicates that they treated the Jews as inanimate objects that; treating them as if they has no sense

Say More with Less “Night” by Eliezer Wiesel is a powerful novel‚ yet it received backlash for not going into detail about the Jew’s horrific experiences while at concentration camps. Critics say that the material could have been even more graphic than it already was in order to display the true horrors the Jews experienced. Because he chose to relay his experiences in an understated manner‚ Wiesel is actually showing his readers just how gut wrenching that event really was. When a person experiences

Any human being should never experience the hell-like terror that Elie had to go through. He is separated from his mother and his sister and is deported to Auschwitz‚ one of Hitler’s most depressing concentration camps. Wiesel uses night not only as the title but also as a symbol of time‚ a world without God‚ and man’s inhumanity to man. Night is defined as a time of

In the book Night by Elie Wieser‚ the author explains the situation of Jewish people confined in concentration camps through his very own experiences. According to him‚ he was forced into labor by the Nazis‚ like all the other people who were held with him. Some people might say that the hardships the laborers faced helped build stronger relations amongst them. However‚ I strongly disagree with this idea. I believe that the experiences in the camps weakened relations between the people and was exacerbated

In Elie Wiesel’s Night book‚ a description of Auschwitz-Birkenau was mentioned. “In front of us‚ those flames. In the air‚ the smell of burning flesh. It must have been around midnight. We had arrived in Birkenau. The beloved objects that we had carried with us from place to place were now left behind in the wagon and‚ with them‚ finally‚ our illusions.

In both novels the protagonists are faced with obstacles which seem impossible to overcome‚ however once they reach "rock bottom" they realize how they shall over come their situation. In "Night" by Elie Wiesel‚ the main character‚ Eliezer was faced with a conflict that changed his life and the lives everyone he loved. He
