Research Paper Ethan Do The Nazis disposed of the Jewish people in many atrocious manners as displayed in the personal reflection of Elie Wisel in his book Night. The ways that the Jews were horrifically murdered was the gassing and shooting. However, those were not the only methods of how the Jews died. They died from a lack of malnutrition and other diseases that were caused by the abhorrent surroundings. There were so many crematoriums during World War II that the Nazis had developed.
Kahn Lothar is explaining how Wiesel’s book strongly brings to life the experiences of humans being tormented and the ability to loose faith simply. Symbols such as fire represent this. Wiesel tells the reader his thoughts to inform the readers of the horrific experiences of concentration camp. When he arrives at camp he constantly thinking about how abruptly his life has changed. “So much has happened with such a few hours that I had lost all sense of time.
Its not like being shot its way worse. ➢ Robert Ross was on the lines of the battle when the Germans used the flamethrower. ➢ Using the flamethrower also has an affect of the other soldiers who see there partners or team being burned. Just like Robert witnessed it. ➢ It causes them horror as they are seeing someone being burned to death in agony yelling about the pain they are in.
Imagine believing so strongly in something and then being let down, or thinking that you were wrong even to believe. In Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie felt as though he had lost his religion and belief in God. We learned how strong his beliefs were when he says,“I believed profoundly. During the day I studied the Talmud, and at night I ran to the synagogue to weep of the destruction of the Temple,” (Wiesel, 14). But then he experiences the hardships of the Holocaust and it abruptly changed him.
In the memoir Night, Elie Wiesel uses diction, figurative language and syntax in order to show the reader the agony in which the Jews had to endure. The Diction Wiesel uses displays the devastating conditions he witnesses in the concentration camp. While in the camp Wiesel questions the existence of God. He uses the words “murder” and “consumed” to describe how he feels about his faith being tested. Both these words carry heavy connotations saying that his faith has been devoured by the “flames” of the Holocaust.
Appalled is one word that can describe my initial reaction towards the cruelty presented in the autobiography Night by Eliezer Wiesel, and the films, “Jakob the Liar” and “The Last Days”. Though I had some previous knowledge about the Holocaust, my eyes were pried open to the horrific and despicable events that human beings did to other human beings. I honestly ask, ‘How could people do that to others?’ People in concentration camps had to aide in the murder of others, often friends or family; people were not given food or water; and people were treated like ‘lab rats’ and were used for sick experiments. Through the two films and the novel, I was educated about the cruelty that some people possess, and how some humans can still find the strength
Adam Suraz 08/20/13 Us History Ap Holocaust When a person thinks about the Holocaust, they think about the atrocity’s that happen inside there. The holocaust was when the lives of many Jews were taken. They were torture in camps and killed for no good reason. Adolf Hitler played a huge role in these killings. The Holocaust museums takes the viewer into the life of a Jew during these darker times.
Hitler and most Nazis believed that Jewish people were devils and only wanted to conquer the world and bring destruction to everything that people had worked hard to achieve. They also believed that all Jewish people were communists a group that most people did not like at all and so it turned more people against Jewish people. The Nazis also then made a new class for everyone apart from Jewish people and therefore telling the Jewish people that they were inferior to everyone but themselves. All in all Jewish people were treated like rats. Nazis were constantly putting up posters showing Jewish people as dirty ugly deformed scum of the world.
The liberation of concentration camps was the last step of the Holocaust. As World War II ended in 1945, Allied Forces went through each concentration camp, letting the imprisoned Jews free. U.S. troops were cheered on by Jewish prisoners, even the ones who were very ill or hungry (Mackay 53). Allied Troops found very horrific things in the camps. They found destroyed gas chambers and crematoriums, very sick and hungry prisoners, and piles of deceased Jews.
| The period of time the book is based on was when European Jews were badly treated by The Nazi. They were put in concentration camps, shot to death, they even were supposedly taken for showers (where they were gathered into a room and it would be filled with poisoned or toxic gas, this would immediately lead to death). To us this is general knowledge and we would know to stay away from this if we were in the same situation, because we know of the dangerous consequences it can form. But to a young child it’s completely different. As the book quotes... | “As the door at the front was suddenly closed and a loud metallic sound rang through from the outside.
