Elie Wiesel

Three significant items to Elie Wiesel in his book "Night" are his father's final words, the memory of his mother and sister, and the symbol of fire representing destruction and death in the concentration camps.

Wiesel begins "The Perils of Indifference" by thanking the US soldiers who freed him from a concentration camp to acknowledge their sacrifice and bravery in fighting against injustice and tyranny. This act of gratitude also serves to highlight the importance of not remaining indifferent in the face of suffering and human rights violations.

Elie Wiesel used the image of "the abandoned homes" to symbolize loss, emptiness, and the destruction of normal life during the Holocaust. This image conveys a sense of desolation and the feeling of being uprooted from one's past.

Elie is disciplined by a kapo in the book Night because he witnessed the kapo having an affair with a French girl, which was strictly forbidden in the camp. The kapo likely disciplined Elie to prevent him from spreading word about the affair and risking his own position of power within the camp.

Surely only he could answer that question. Unfortunately, so many people--not just in the Holocaust--experience a lack of faith, anger, resentment and bitterness toward God when undergoing an extreme ordeal. We look to God to protect us from evil, to keep us from all harm. And when we suffer, we naturally question "Why?" We ask, "How? How could this to happen to me?" Some of us, in anger or disappointment, turn our backs on the faith we once held. In the face of gruesome death, torture, starvation, inhumane treatment, one can't blame a person for doubting. It takes faith to believe in a God that would allow such suffering. It takes faith to believe that God has a reason for everything He allows. Suffering can damage faith or it can strengthen it. The choice is ours.

The first hanging was for a man who stole from the Germans during an air raid at the camp. He was sentenced to death. The narrator commented that the supper that night tasted better than it ever had been. The next hanging explained was three people. Two of which were men and the last was only a child. As the men cried resistance with their last few breaths, the boy remained silent. When the executioners pulled the floor from under them, the men were dead within seconds. The boy though wasn't heavy enough to die as quickly. He stayed hung there, gasping for breath. The dinner that night tasted of corpses. Both reactions to these hangings are very different. I think that what it says is that after watching the first hanging, he finds himself lucky to be alive, but after watching the child's deathbed, he thinks that there comes a time when the Germans have crossed the line and he is disgusted.

Elie Wiesel used short incomplete sentences in his memoir "Night" to convey the fragmented nature of his experiences during the Holocaust. This writing style reflects the chaos, confusion, and trauma he faced, capturing the sense of disorientation and emotional turmoil he endured. The short, abrupt sentences also contribute to the urgent and poignant tone of the narrative, drawing readers into the intensity of his suffering.

Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. The Norwegian Nobel Committee called him a "messenger to mankind," noting that through his struggle to come to terms with "his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler's death camps," as well as his "practical work in the cause of peace," Wiesel has delivered a powerful message "of peace, atonement and human dignity" to humanity.

During his time in concentration camps, Elie Wiesel did not have opportunities for leisure or entertainment. He was solely focused on survival and enduring the harsh conditions of the camps.

Moche the Beadle was deported along with other foreign Jews during the Nazi occupation of his town. He was taken away on a train to a concentration camp, where he experienced the horrors of the Holocaust firsthand.

Elie Wiesel's father did not die during the death march. He died after the death march, in Buchenwald. He died from dysentery (also, starvation and exhaustion). In Night, Elie said that his father was suffering from dysentery, and had kept asking for water, when one of the guards hit him over the head with a truncheon, and by morning he was dead.

Elie Wiesel referred to the Nazi regime as their first oppressors during the Holocaust.

Wiesel conveys a sense of hopeless in the final section of the book with the reflections of a main character. Eliezer mulls over how he resembled a corpse which is the ultimate expression of depression.

Three character traits that describe Elie Wiesel as a young boy are courage, resilience, and empathy. He showed courage in facing the challenges of the Holocaust, resilience in surviving the horrors of concentration camps, and empathy in caring for his father and other prisoners.

Elie's father was struck by the gypsy because he asked where the bathroom was and the gypsy thought he was asking for his wallet. The misunderstanding led to the gypsy lashing out in anger and hitting Elie's father.

Elie hates the sound of the bell in the book "Night" because it signals the prisoners to wake up and experience another day of suffering and hardship in the concentration camp. The bell serves as a reminder of the dehumanizing conditions and constant brutality they endure.

Elie Wiesel was afraid to go out on Christmas and Easter because these were holidays when incidents of violence and persecution against Jews historically increased. He feared being targeted by anti-Semitic individuals or groups during these times.

Eliezer Wiesel had changed soon after entering the camps because he had a better relation ship with his father nad his only goal was to take care of his fahter because that was the first time got close to them. However, after his father died he becomes more self sufficient. He doesn't look outside of himself for anything anymore. . . . he only relies on himself. It's a survival mode.

The quotes from "Night" by Elie Wiesel pertains to themes such as loss of faith, survival, and the cruelty of the Holocaust. They showcase Wiesel's personal journey through the horrors of the concentration camps and the enduring impact it had on his identity and beliefs. The quotes also serve as powerful reminders of the atrocities of the Holocaust and the importance of bearing witness to history.

He was told to sprint as fat as he could, not to walk. This would make him seem physically capable and put color in his face so he wouldn't look so pale( your face can get redish when you run). Also if he wa running fast enough they wouldn't be able to read the identification on his arm therefore they could not write down his identification on the selection list

Elie Wiesel wrote in his book "Night" that the travelers left behind their illusions about humanity and the goodness of the world when they arrived at Auschwitz concentration camp during the Holocaust. This moment marked a profound realization of the depths of human depravity and the loss of innocence.

Eliezer and his father were assigned to work in the electrical warehouse at Auschwitz. Eliezer was given the task of sorting electrical equipment, while his father was responsible for repairing damaged electrical parts.

You can't read it anywhere for free because of copyright rules, therefore you would have to pay for it almost everywhere. Although if you do find it then it is illegal, but so far I haven't found it.
