Wiesel wrote about how horrible it seemed to lose one’s innocence. He did not realize that he had lost some of his own as well. Like Wiesel, many other victims still feel troubled by the painful memories that follow them. Roman, one of the countless victims of the Nazis, wrote a short yet perceptive poem about her lingering reflections; the powerful calamities caught the reader by surprise. Through Wiesel and Roman’s stories about their loss of innocence and haunting memories, we learned that the cruel and obscene methods used by the Nazis and SS Officers caused the vicious afterthoughts of those who survived the horrifying experiences that no human should endure.
The theme of “Dehumanization” by the Nazis to the Jews was expressed in Elie Wiesel’s novel Night. Elie Wiesel elaborated on the methods in which the Nazis demoralized the Jews and the devastating results their actions have produced. As an author he successfully used figurative language to create his accounts of the experience in the concentration camps during the Holocaust. Mr. Wiesel clearly expressed the Nazi’s dehumanization of the Jews with brutal actions and absolute vigor. These brutal actions led Elie and many of the other Jewish people to undergo drastic changes.
The Holocaust was a tragic time in history that showed the bad side of mankind and how cruel we can be. This took place in the 1930’s and 1940’s.

The labor camps were where the people that arrived would work until they were too weak.
When he returns, he tells the villagers about how he has miraculously escaped from his torturers. He also tells them shocking stories about the atrocities committed against the Jews by Hitler’s regime. When Elie and the other villagers do not believe his stories, thinking he has gone mad, Moshe weeps and tells his story again. As time passes, the Nazis treat the Jews worse and worse. First they shift the Jewish people to live in ghettos; then they arrest them and transport them to Birkenau, the reception center that leads to Auschwitz.
In the book Night, Elie and his father are sent to a concentration camp called Auschwitz, and then Buna. At both of these camps, the Nazis were unfair to all of the Jews and treated them horribly. In other words, the Nazis "dehumanized" the Jews. Dehumanization is to treat people as if they are not human. To dehumanize a person is to be cruel to them until they no longer act human.
She was living in Bielitz, Poland, where she was born, and she reacts with terror as she watches her neighbors meet the invading Nazis with happiness. They were trying to hide the fact of war from Gerda’s father because he was sick and they didn’t want to worry him. When their town was invaded they couldn’t keep it a secret from him any more. Bad things started happening to the Jews, and the Nazis were taking Jewish men. In October, Gerda’s brother Arthur, was forced to leave with a Nazi and all of the other young men in town.

So it wasn’t the easiest thing to do in the middle of December when it’s snowing and below freezing. What went on inside the camp was horrible they stole from the Jews and they ripped out their gold teeth but the thing that was the worst was what they did to the twin children. See they would test the twins by injecting them with drugs and putting them in high-pressure chambers. After they ran out of room, they put the Jews in a crematorium. The Nazis started burning all the Jews on open fire
Jewish businesses along with almost every synagogue in Germany were damaged or completely destroyed. As the Nuremberg Laws felt insufficient in solving the “Jewish question”, and with the occupation of eastern Poland after September 1939, which held about two million Jews, the treatment of the Jews became an urgent matter to Adolf
This quote describes when the Germans arrived to the city. The Jewish people thought that things would be horrible, which they became, but the German’s were being deceitfully kind. This reminds me Of Iago from Othello, and how he puts on a fake attitude to get his way. This can be seen as foreshadowing. While Wiesel is in the concentration camps, he is usually forced to wait hours by the Gestapo.
