Elie Wiesel witnessed immense death and horrors during the Holocaust that left lasting impacts. He survived forced labor, marches, starvation, disease, and abuse while watching his family be torn apart and killed. His relationship with his father grew strong as they supported each other during their imprisonment. Many Jews lost faith in God, themselves, and the humanity of others and simply wanted to die to escape the trauma. The Nazis believed they had ultimate power over Jews, systematically carrying out the planned extermination of over 6 million through shootings, gassings, starvation and more. The immense death and loss of families was a terrible tragedy.

1. ‘NIGHT’ BY ELIE WIESEL

2. COURAGEElie Wiesel has witnesses death in front of his own eyes, images stained his mind “from the depths of the mirror, a corps was contemplating me ”. He cheated death from this horrible life he was living. The fear was still there but the courage began to become stronger. Elie survived force labour, forced marches, starvation, disease and beatings departures from family, entering the new reality of loosing loved ones.

3. Family values Elie Wiesel lost all his family in the holocaust, he watched his father turn weak as a person and physically. “Women to the left Men to the right”. At this time Elie had a choice, whether or not to go with his Mum and sisters or with his Father. While his time with his father the relationship between father and son grew a strong bond. Supporting each other, being each other extra helping hand.

4. Faith Loosening faith in your own religion would have been hard, thinking no can help you but your own faith not god. The choices that you make choose your future. Many Jews had lost faith in themselves, life, others and German spirit. They just wanted to die that would have been more peaceful.

5. powerThe Nazis thoughts they had all the power in the world in the 20th century, all this trauma ended in 1945 when the Russians and the Americans Invaded Europe. Hitler was the leader of the SS, SA, the German Army and Germany. Hitler become thought to be unbeatable. I think that his hates for the Jews Began at Vienna where he applies for a position in an Art school and got rejected twice. This is where he became homeless. He started his power in WW1 after Germany was blamed, (the weak ones). He was Proving that Germany was better that everyone else , they were also the first to pull out of the great depression. When he was leader the hate for the Jews were shown by the “final solution” . To exterminate all Jews was the plan. Elie Was unfortunate enough to be a Jew at the time. The Germans thoughts they had all the POWER in the world. There aggressive force towards the Jews were unbearable to think about.

6. deathMany people lost there families with few survivors. over 6,000,000 killed, from being shot on the spot “if you don’t hand the Jewelry or any valuables over you will be shot on the spot” , if you steal you will be killed, if you escape others will be shot. Children, babies, elderly, women and men they didn’t care they were doing the right thing according to them. Many people were shot of gassed, starvation, cold, sick, burnt alive, dehydration and many more. HOW HORRIBLE

8. THE END
