Night by Elie Wiesel Relations to the Holocaust

Inhumanity can be defined as an act of cruelty. In my opinion, there is no better explanation for the holocaust. The Holocaust was an extremely demoralizing time for millions of families all over Europe during the period of World War II. Its vast amounts of violence and torture affected not only the people who lived through it, but also affected anyone who were in any way connected to its survivors. These people were lucky to have made it through the horrible times, but now must live with the memories and flashbacks that will haunt them forever. In the memoir Night, Elie Wiesel uses the motifs of loss of faith, death, and loss of innocence to portray to the reader the many overwhelming effects that the Holocaust had on its victims. In times like these, losing hope and faith in God is something that could not be avoided, and so it is a tool that the author uses to display his experiences. Throughout this memoir, Wiesel’s numerous encounters with death frequently cause him to contemplate the importance of being alive. Night represents one individual’s horrifying story and follows him through his loss of innocence and journey to manhood. Wiesel’s work expresses all of his memories
