Central Idea Of Alsatia's Germany By Eleanor Garner

Yes, I did see this with my own eyes…children thrown into the flames.” (Wiesel 32) In this quote children are being murdered by the Germans because they are not considered “useful.” Life so quickly brought into this world, taken out just as easily. Another memory darkening his mind so much that it is darker than night itself.

In the memoir Night , Ellie Wiesel describes his horrific experiences as a young 15 year old Jewish boy during the Holocaust under the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitter. At the young age of thirteen, Ellie and his family were transported to numerous ghettos and concentration camps in which he witnessed and experienced the worst type of inhuman cruelty and torture ever Recorded. During Wiesel's time at Auschwitz it affected him physically ,mentally and spiritually, which he records in his memoir. While Ellie demonstrates weakness, he also displays moments of perseverance under the extreme circumstances of prosecution under the Nazi regime. Many lives were permanently altered by the Holocaust, impacting individuals physically, mentally, and spiritually

Hitler’s mass genocide of European Jews is now known as the Holocaust, which resulted in the death of over six million Jews as well as other ethnic and religious minorities and political opponents of his political party, the Nazis. The autobiography Night by Elie Wiesel is a first-hand account of the conditions inside one of Hitler’s extermination camps. The story focuses on a fifteen year-old boy, Eliezer Wiesel, and his father as they suffer through time in both Auschwitz and Buchenwald, two of the most notorious Nazi death camps. Eliezer experiences unimaginably horrific events, such as the hanging of a young boy and people being burned alive in ditches filled with flames. Although many people were aware that these appalling acts were occurring, very few chose to make an effort to save those affected.

The book Night by Ellie Wiesel, gives the account of a teenage boy going through the horrendous events of the Holocaust with his father by his side, though this is one of the many accounts of the Holocaust it is crucial to society that we learn the lesson behind it. The lesson to learn from this horrifying event, is to accept all humans for who they are and not be prejudice against their religion or race. In the dissection of section one of Night the readers can spot how blind the Jews of Sighet are to Hitler’s cruelty and power. The Jews are so blind they would not even believe when one of their own Moishe the Beadle, who was captured by the Hungarian Police and then forced into cattle cars and forced to dig a mass grave.

Eleven million lives were massacred in one of the world’s darkest moments attempting to create a perfect race. In 1942 Germany was losing World War II, Adolf Hitler 's final solution was to target the blame towards Europe 's Jewish population, gypsies, and homosexuals. Together Hitler and the Nazi regime gradually deprived the Jews, gypsies and homosexuals from their rights. Many people were brought to labor camps by train. The conditions in camps were inhumane.

The Jewish of Sighet are forced to the concentration camps using trains every night. The conditions of the trip to the camps were horrible. Jewish were treated worse than the way they would treat animals. On the way to the concentration camp a woman screams “Fire! I see a fire!

In the sea of “thousands of people who died daily in Auschwitz and Birkenau”[pg.62], it was that one rebellious kid who sparked hope in the hearts of others. For those whose liberty is squashed, the bold words “long live liberty”[pg.62] can have tremendous meaning. But rather, it was due to the respect the boy deserved that hope arose. It was due to his courage that “the soup tasted better than ever”[pg.63] — or else his death would have gone in vain. In contrast to this, when the little pipel was hanged, the “Lagerkapo [head of the camp] refused to act as executioner.

Aristotle wrote, “It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light (Aristotle)”. The Holocaust was one of the darkest times humanity has ever seen. A machination brewed by an extraordinarily perverse man that resulted in the deaths of millions, and robbed millions more of their faith and hope. Families were torn apart, towns were destroyed, and humanity lost, all to satisfy one man’s extreme racism and psychotic agenda. If however, one only chooses to focus on the darkness, they might overlook the light, specifically in the two stories of boys who survived against all odds and shared their tales years after defying death.

Elie Wiesel from Night demonstrates that everyone has bravery, faith, hope, and courage, how it is used will make an impact. Elie does this through the events that happened in Auschwitz. With pain everyone sometimes forgets to use these important traits. Wiesel first develops this theme through the travel from their homes to the small ghetto. He explained the loneliness of their homes they’ll never see again.

Inhumanity and Cruelty in Night Adolf Hitler, the Nazi dictator of Germany, conducted a genocide known as the Holocaust during World War II that was intended to exterminate the Jewish population. The Holocaust was responsible for the death of about 6 million Jews. Night is a nonfiction novel written by Eliezer Wiesel about his experience during the Holocaust. Many events in the novel convey a theme of “man’s inhumanity to man”. The prisoners of the concentration camps are constantly tortured and neglected by the German officers who run the camps.

Life as a Jew during the Holocaust can be very harsh and hostile, especially in the early 1940’s, which was in the time of the Holocaust. “Sometimes we can only just wait and see, wait for all the things that are bad to just...fade out.” (Pg.89) It supports my thesis because it explains how much the Jewish community as

The rise of the Nazi Party from 1933-1945 had a profound impact on the lives of many people throughout Europe. Innocent people including over a million children suffered at the hands of the Nazis. The Nazis slowly changed life politically, economically, and socially for many people. The rise of the Nazi party changed people in many ways especially the Jews. One of the ways were politically, The Jews weren’t able to have a citizenship and not were able to vote.

In the book Night by Ellie Wiesel there are many words that can describe the horrible events that went on during the Holocaust. There was a tremendous amount of evil that the Germans displayed during this time period. One of the most soul opening quotes from Ellie was, “Yes, I did see this, with my own eyes … children thrown into the flames" (Wiesel 51). The people in this book that committed these crimes were always so corrupt. It is extremely wrong to kill any person, but it is especially wrong to kill babies that still have so much more of their life to live.

In class we are working with a book call Night, by Elie Wiesel. This book is about a young man call Elie and his family that live in Transylvania that has a lot of trouble all around the book because like he is jews they send him and his family to a concentration camp and he is waiting for a miracle of god to save him but like he doesn't see nothing happening he is starting do get mad and stop believing in him, this book is basically about how world war I started because germans(nazis) thought jews were different people. Over the course of the book, Elie changes from a person who believes in god to a person who only thinks about food. This is important to the book as a whole because it connects to the fact that because of everything he is going though and he thinks that god will stop it or will help him but like he sees nothing is

Nazis are members of the National Socialist German Workers Party that controlled Germany from 1933 to 1945 under Adolf Hitler. Germany was the place where discrimination against Jews was supported, and in some cases hated by people like Hans, Liesel, and Rosa. Liesel and her foster family go through this terrible time and unfortunately, everybody died except for Liesel. Liesel, her foster family and few other people stood by what was right throughout the novel and did not give in to Hitler’s convincing propaganda. Even though all of this terrible discrimination and cruelty is going on throughout the novel, Liesel performs small, loving, individual acts that gives people comfort, happiness, friendship, and meaning in a time of poverty, pain, and grief.
