    During Winter, the prisoners felt true bitter cold. Because of the incredibly cool weather, Eliezer’s foot swelled. He consulted a fellow Jew, a doctor prior to imprisonment, and is told that he needs immediate operation to prevent amputation. In the hospital, Eliezer was fed properly and didn’t have to work. After he awakened from his operation, Eliezer was afraid to ask the doctor if his leg has been amputated, but the doctor assured him that “in two weeks you'll be fully recovered… able to walk like the others.” (page 80). Two days after his operation, Eliezer heard that the front was advancing to Buna, and that very day the camp was ordered to evacuate. Hospital occupants were not to be evacuated, however, and Eliezer worries that they…

    On the evening of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) the Jews in Buna gather for a prayer. Eliezer, who once lived for prayer and religious study, rebels against this. He feels that humans are, in a sense, greater than God, stronger than God, to still pray to a God who allows such horrors. "I was the accuser, God the accused……

In the camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau, one teenager and his father find themselves in exactly that dilemma, starving and with only each other to rely on.

This book shows what really happened behind the scenes of Nazi Germany during World War 2, things that would not be revealed for years to come.

    Wistfully, thinking that they were to be brought to safety and to start a new life away from the battlefields, or so they hoped. These people could have never imagined what was to happen to them after being evacuated. It was the beginning of a new life, indeed, although it was not as anywhere near as expected or envisioned.

    When God spoke through Elie it had other importance as well. It shows that God is suffering with his people. Saying that God is on the gallows with the child shows that He is not finding pleasure in the actions of the Holocaust. Actually, God is unimaginably saddened and in pain because of it, much like the child on the gallows. This realization should comfort Elie and help him through this terrible and horrendous situation that he is in.…

    I don't try to understand the Nazis and their ideals on chosen race that made them shoot groups of people and burn mothers and children while they're trapped helplessly in barns, instead I look at the stories of the survivors and how they slowly lost their humanity, fate, and even themselves to the darkness that was THE HOLOCAUST. Wiesel’s story is a first account of the horrors of the Holocaust; these accounts were so hard to believe, that even when they were happening, people would shrug them off as mere myths instead of true occurrences.…

    As adapted from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Longfellow states, “Time has a doomsday book, on whose pages he is continually recording illustrious names. But as often as a new name is written there, an old one disappears. Only a few stand in illuminated characters never to be effaced.” Parallel to this belief, it is to my belief that some heroes would be forgotten, while some heroes would be remembered forever, depending on the extent of his or her good deeds, or the capacity of a region in which the hero had affected the area upon.…

    One of the first themes you encounter is religion. Religion was the main cause of the holocaust with the Germans exterminating all the people of the Jewish religion. At the beginning of the story Elie is a young boy who is very religious and is studying the cabala. “One day I asked my father to find me a master to guide me in my studies of the cabala.” This shows how religious he is when he father then tells him he is too young to begin his studies. Later in the story when the Jews were in the barracks they began to wonder about god. “God? What god, there is no god for if there was he would not let this keep happening.” They began to stop believing in god because they didn’t believe he could ever let something so horrible happen which leads to the next theme.…
