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…

Even with an overprotective mother, Elsa, Little Bruno must have seen the inequality in Berlin such as benches at the park labeled as “Aryans only” and the Jews being rejected from using streetcars in Berlin. As a German boy, Bruno must have witness the scene of “der Führe”, the leader, passing the city with their expensive car.

In the novel Night by Elie Wiesel he talks about what he’s been through. He also writes about his struggles and what he has suffered through when he was under Nazi control. The Nazis didn’t care one bit if the Jews died and didn’t stop once to realize that what they were doing was very wrong and crucial. In the Galician forest, near Kolomay the Gestapo forced the Jews to dig huge trenches and when they had finished their work the Gestapo shot the Jewish prisoners into the huge trenches without passion or haste (Wiesel 6). The Jews fell into to the huge bloody trenches and those who didn’t die straight away after being shot would be left to bleed out and slowly die in the pit (6). Jewish people needed to live the Holocaust but the crucial Nazis…

In the holocaust, the Nazis severely dehumanized the Jewish people and made them to be lesser people. In the novel Night, in Eliezer’s town all was tranquil, until the Nazis arrived and completely changed his life and the lives of the other Jews in his town. In the launch of the invasion by the Nazis, they had not bothered to identify which individuals were Jews by their name, but the Jews were required to wear a Jewish star to be easily identifiable, dehumanizing them. In addition, the Nazis made the Jews gather outside in a large, orderly fashion. This triggered Eliezer to utter a statement that,” there no longer was any distinction between rich and poor, notables and the others; we were all people condemned to the same fate still unknown.”…
The act or practice of allowing oneself into self-deception or another person into deception makes up a hindrance for that person and yourself, creating an indisputable cognition unemphatic like the Jews in the Holocaust. Notably, the author of "Night" Elie Wiesel on page 10 explains, "How avid we were at that moment for one word of confidence, one sentence to say that there were no grounds for fear, that the meeting could not have been more commonplace, more routine, that it had only been a question of social welfare, of sanitary arrangements!". Here the author is implying that he, to diffuse the anxiety that arises from this conflict of which his Jewish father was called by the council to deploy deportation voiced by The Gestapo, deployed…
If you’re silent then how can you stand up for yourself when you’re getting bullied? How can you stand up for yourself or defend yourself if you’re getting punched? Silence is a lot of times the lack of standing up for yourself and a very common result of that is violence. Silence can perpetuate violence in two main ways and those ways are shown in Elie Wiesel’s Night and the movie, Boy in Striped Pajamas.…
