Tortured them Killed them.
I just recently finished reading the book and i have no recollection of Elie being called a rat.
He had no choice. He (and many other Jews) were forced into many camps like this by the Nazis and Hitler.
Ghettos were a small section of a city where Jews were herded into and kept until they were sent to concentration camps.
He did not return to Romania, which was well on the way to becoming Communist when he was well enough to leave Buchenwald. He was invited by French Jews, whom he had been with at Buchenwald, to go to France. His first priority was to complete his education. (He was 15 when deported to Auschwitz). Elie Wiesel became a journalist and writer.
Elie Wiesel helped the Jews, by making a Humanitarian foundation for the effect of the Holocaust and its impression on those who were effect. He not only helps the Jews but others who were abused just the same and suffered.
At the beginning of the excerpt in "Night" by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel is in a train car with other Jews being transported to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Tortured them Killed them.
Holocaust
Elie Wiesel's parents were named Shlomo and Sarah Wiesel. They were both Orthodox Jews. His father ran a grocery store and was very active in the community, and his mother took care of him and his three sisters (Hilda, Beatrice, and Tzipora) at home.
Elie Wiesel does not share Akiba Drumer's belief that the suffering of the Jews is a sign of love from God. Elie struggles with his faith throughout the novel and eventually questions the existence and justice of God in the face of such extreme suffering and cruelty.
Elie Wiesel's difficulties was to see not only his family vanish, but to see 6 million other people that look like him vanish, and to see such brutality and cruelty in the Nazi party towards the Jews.
In Elie Wiesel's "Night," the faith of some Jews begins to wane as they endure the horrors of the Holocaust. Many struggle to reconcile their belief in a just and merciful God with the extreme suffering and atrocities they witness. This crisis of faith leads some to question the existence of God altogether, while others cling to their beliefs, seeking solace amidst despair. Ultimately, the experience profoundly transforms their spiritual convictions and understanding of faith.
In "Night," Elie Wiesel and other Jews in the concentration camps attempt to observe their religion through various acts of faith, such as reciting prayers and maintaining their traditions despite the harsh conditions. They hold onto rituals like celebrating the Sabbath and trying to gather for communal prayers, even when faced with severe persecution. Wiesel reflects on the struggle to find meaning in their faith amid suffering, illustrating the deep connection to their identity and heritage. However, as their circumstances worsen, many, including Wiesel, grapple with their beliefs and the question of God's presence in their suffering.
