Night- Elie Weisel

The book, Night is about a teenager named Elie Weisel and his life in the concentration camps during the Holocaust. He was put into the concentration camps when he was fifteen along with his father. Some occurances that happen are very shocking, such as people being hanged, babies being burned in the crematoriam, people being forced at gun point to dig their graves and then being shot and thrown in. On one occassion peoplecan lose their conscience and their faith: A man is told to thrown his father in the furnace and he does it and Elie had lost his faith by noy vasting on Yom Kippur. In the end when the camps are starting to get liquidated, Elie escapes but his father is thrown into the crematoriam.

I will remember the struggle and emotion that Elie wrote about in this book. The images from this book that are embedded into my head are the great amount of  determination the Nazis had to exterminate the Jews. It has changed the way of how I think by thinking of what I have and not focusing on what I don't have. I found that the saddest moment was where Elie's father was thrown into the furnace and Elie didn't see it, he already knew. The most horrifying was where a baby was being hanged and as it was hanged, it was still alive. The most angering was when a person wanted people to say Kaddish for him, and they forgot. The most confusing was when Elie lost his faith. Just people you are in a certain situation, doesn't necessarily change your faith.
