Perception Of The Holocaust In Elie Wiesel's 'Night'

The book Night by Elie Wiesel has changed my perception of the holocaust. For example in the book when Elie Wiesel ,a major character in the book, and his family were ordered to walk to the station, where a convoy of cattle cars were waiting for them.(pg.22) The hungarian police made them climb into the cattle cars with eighty people in each cattle car with very little food and water, is when my mind changed. When I learned that there were eighty people in a cattle car it first sounded impossible, then I felt even more sympathetic for holocaust victims . Another example in the book of when my perception of the holocaust had changed is when Elie and his father were put into cattle cars for the second time, they could fit a hundred per car.
(pg.96) I was surprised because when Elie and his family went in the cattle car the first time they could only fit eighty people per car but since they have starved so much they are so skinny and depleted of fat, they can fit one hundred per car. When I realised this I felt even deeper sympathy than I did before. This book, Night, made me feel even deeper sympathy, because of all the stories of the starving, the beating they were given and the mistreatment they were given.
