Response To Elie Wiesel's Night In Religion Class
Recently, I have completed reading your autobiographical novel, Night in Religion class. I had a wonderful time reading your book in defiance that you encountered many unfortunate events. I know I can never understand what you underwent; however, I do possess a great deal of sympathy for you and hope that you have had a wonderful life after the Holocaust. Your life in the concentration camp, expressed through your book has exceptionally inspired myself and my classmates. You are a major inspiration and leader for people going through difficult times in their life. I am very thankful that you wrote your book and I was given the opportunity to read it. I will never forget the intense moments in your book as they are tremendously impactful. I would like to start out by saying throughout the whole book you had been so brave by enduring many hardships. I admire your dignity in being a Jew and how you never stopped believing in God. It was not right for the Nazis to put the Jews through what you

encountered of inhumane conditions. I am so glad that you survived and your actions are an inspiration to all who have read your book. On behalf of those who have read your book, I am truly sorry about this intense event in your life and how it has greatly affected your life when you were so young. The fact that you did not leave your father exemplified the true meaning of family. I am unsure that I would have made such wise decisions as you had. Overall, your experience in the concentration camp truly touched my heart and helped me learn to appreciate my great life today.
I cannot compute how your underwent the experience of leaving your wonderful home and city at the age of 12 to travel to a frightening concentration camp. In the beginning of the book I was so confused at the way you handled this difficult situation with such ease. It angered me how you and your family could have been saved so many times throughout the book. Especially when you and your father could’ve stayed safely in the hospital and later been liberated by the Russians. When you discussed your encounter with your friend Juliek, my heart broke to pieces. The fact that you found him alive, but later awoke to see him dead affected me immensely. Your devotion towards your father was heart warming as you understood how he was not very connected or interested with family, as described in the beginning of your story. The one thing that astonished me the most through the whole entire book was your hope for survival for both you and your father. You never gave up on him even when he was on the verge of death. Many in the camp turned on their family such as Rabbi Eliahou’s son and the boy who killed his father in the train car. You, however, constantly by your father's side, even through the most difficult occurrences and never gave up on him. You were by his side on the last day of his life and shared your ration of food when you yourself had barely eaten for days. Inclusively, what I learned about the Holocaust from your point of view was about the cruelty and brutality that the Germans expressed towards the helpless Jewish people. I had studied the Holocaust before, but your book clearly elucidated common life in a concentration camp. Overall, I am impressed at the way you handled these brutalities at such a young age and am certain that I would not make such wise decisions as you had.
Your book Night gave an insight about the cause and effects of World War II, which is an event that will never be forgotten.
I have a couple of questions that had not been answered in your marvelous book. How did your experience from the Holocaust affect your life today? What was your reaction when you saw yourself in the mirror after you were liberated? Do you ever wish that you can seek revenge on the Nazi’s who performed these awful actions towards the Jews? What is the one thing that you regret doing while surviving the Holocaust. After surviving the Holocaust, what is your current view, opinion, or thoughts about other genocides such as the situation in Rwanda? My final question is, At what moment in the concentration camp did you ever feel like you were sure to die? Thank you very much for your effort and time to read my letter. Overall, your bravery during the concentration camp and strive for survival conveyed in your book has affected many lives in a positive
way.
