No matter how much his father wanted for this torture to end, Elie kept him going. It was not until Elie fell asleep, and his fathers’ body was taken away. Not only was role reversal key in this book, but also from the movie Schindler’s List, roles were reversed due to violence and dehumanization.

In Elie Wiesel's book Night, he is an innocent teenager, a child, whose innocence was taken from him as a result of the awful things that Hitler did in World War Two. In children and young adults who survived the holocaust in concentration camps, their innocence was lost as soon as they walked through the gates into captivity. This will be proven by discussing the loss of faith, family, and the cruelty of the Nazis toward the Jewish people during WWII in the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau. Before Elie was forced into a concentration camp, he was a young and innocent child focused on his faith from birth. He was a strong believer in Judaism, and even studied mysticism and the texts of their sacred scriptures.

Abree Agosto The Dehumanization in Night by Elie Wiesel On page 37, as Elie Wiesel describes what happened to him and his father upon arrival at Birkenau, Wiesel asserts: " within a few seconds, we had ceased to be men". In his book night there are many examples of the dehumanization of the Jews while they were in these concentration camps. In the book Wiesel uses a lot of similes and metaphors. The dehumanization of the Jews also served well for the guard because it gave them no reason to fight. When Wiesel arrives at the first camp (Birkenau) he states that “within a few seconds, we had ceased to be men”.
