While Madame Schachter was being beaten by the camp guards during the transport in "Night" by Elie Wiesel, her son, who was also in the train car with her, was powerless to stop the violence. He tried to calm her down and comfort her, but ultimately he could do nothing to protect her from the brutality inflicted by the guards. This moment illustrates the helplessness and despair faced by many during the Holocaust.
