Night is an autobiographical story written by Elie Wiesel, a young Jewish boy who recounts his experiences during the Holocaust. Elie is from the small town of Sighet, Transylvania. This book begins in late 1941 and chronicles Elie's life until the end of the war in 1945. He had two older sisters, Hilda and Beatrice Wiesel and a younger sister, Tzipora Wiesel. Elie spoke many languages ​​including Hungarian, Romanian, German and grew up speaking Yiddish. At the beginning of the book Elie has a very strong faith in God and the Jewish religion, but this faith is tested when he is moved from his small town by the Nazis. Elie must deal with the death of his family, the death of his innocence, and the death of his God at the very young age of fifteen. He tells us about the horrors of the concentration camp, the hunger, the beatings, the torture, the diseases and the forced labor. He comes to wonder how God could let this happen and redefine God's existence in the concentration camp. In 1944, when Elie was fifteen, he, his parents, and his younger sister were taken to Auschwitz. There he and his father were separated from his mother and little sister. Within a year he and his father were transferred to several concentration camps such as Buna, Gleiwitz, Auschwitz and Buchenwald. He did his best to stay with his father every time they were moved. He and his father looked out for each other, until his father's death in 1945. The Holocaust began because Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany's defeat in World War I. He also blamed the Jews for all the problems Germany had at the time, such as poverty, unemployment, hunger and disease. In early 1942, Hitler decided to implement what he called "The Final Solution", which he hoped would end the Jewish population. He ordered that millions of European Jews be arrested and deported to special camps. This is how concentration camps became extermination camps. In Night, the description, settings, presentation of emotional incidents and sadness were exceptional. The language was good. Elie wrote down everything he saw and heard and everything was simple. The plot of this book was good, as there were no red herrings, no unexpected turns, and no misleading information. Elie Wiesel was the main character and narrator of this book. The story takes place in many concentration camps or in Europe. Elie said...... middle of paper ...... led them by their names. Think of yourself, running, behind you armed officers. If you stop, you will die. It seemed to be the end of the world. After much struggle, Wiesel, his father and many other Jews were evacuated from Auschwitz, alone at the head of the Russian army, and embarked on a long, death-filled journey to Buchenwald. His father survives the journey but dies in early 1945 in Buchenwald. The story ends there shortly thereafter, when Wiesel is released from the camp in 1945. For the first time after 1944, Elie sees his own face. It's April 1945 and Buchenwald, the last camp he endured, has been liberated just over two weeks ago. Looking at himself, he sees someone, something he has never known. The dead eyes staring at him confront him with all the pain he has endured and the destruction of his very identity - This passage is very powerful. Illustrates the horrendous crimes of the Nazis. In their final solution they succeeded in destroying the Jews, not only those who were massacred, but also those who survived. Elie Wiesel fails to recognize the shell staring back at him in the mirror. Although he physically survived the Holocaust, Elie was also killed.
