Recommended: Conclusion of night by elie wiesel

Night was one of the hardest books for me to read. I enjoy reading about cool fantasy adventures and happy stories. Sad books bring my mood down, and I dislike being sad. It was rough to read because of the thought that amount of evil can exist in this world. Adding to that, it was a bit disturbing. Some parts were a bit graphic, like when the little boy was being hung. Even though I did not enjoy reading it, Night essentially changed me as a person. As I have said many times, Night showed me what hatred can lead to. It also showed me the magnitude of the Holocaust. Normally, I am told about numbers and percents. However, in the first person view of Night, I learned about people's experiences and the other people involved in the Holocaust.

    Millions of Jews forced out of their homes and are either killed immediately or forced to work until bodies gave up on them and died. Night focuses on the aspect of inhumanity a lot. The Nazi’s practically dehumanized the Jews and caused them to suffer each day, which is evident in Night. In the book, however, the Nazi’s are not the only ones subject to inhumanity; the Jews are a part of it also. Due to the harsh treatment, many of the Jew lose a sense of empathy. For example, when Eliezer’s father was practically dead the other prisoners beat him just because he didn’t deserve to live any more. The author is ultimately trying to argue that under the right conditions we may all lose our

    In summary, Night is more effective in telling the story of the Holocaust. This is because it tells what really happened, and does not try to lighten and sugar-coat the dark subject. It also showed how much Wiesel was affected by the death of his father, which was more characteristic of the Holocaust than the happy ending in Life is Beautiful. Also, the way Wiesel changes in Night shows the reader how awful the Holocaust really was. Because of how real Night portrays the Holocaust, it has a greater effect on the readers.

    It is reported that over 6 million Jews were brutally murdered in the Holocaust, but there were a very few who were able to reach the liberation, and escape alive. There were many important events that occurred in Elie Wiesel’s Night, and for each and every event, I was equally, if not more disturbed than the one before. The first extremely disturbing event became a reality when Eliezer comprehended that there were trucks filled with babies that the Nazi’s were throwing the children into the crematorium. Unfortunately, the sad truth of the murdering babies was clearly presented through, “Not far from us, flames, huge flames, were rising from a ditch. Something was being burned there, […] babies”, (Wiesel, Night, 32). This was one of the most disturbing events of the narrative for myself and truly explained the cruelty and torture of the Holocaust.

    In Night, by Elie Wiesel, there is an underlying theme of anger. Anger not directed where it seems most appropriate- at the Nazis- but rather a deeper, inbred anger directed towards God. Having once been a role model of everything a “good Jew” should be, Wiesel slowly transforms into a faithless human being. He cannot comprehend why the God who is supposed to love and care for His people would refuse to protect them from the Germans. This anger grows as Wiesel does and is a constant theme throughout the book.
