Elie therefore went to the infirmary block to learn that the reason for his summon was gold teeth extraction. Elie, however pretends to be sick and asks, ”Couldn’t you wait a few days sir? I don’t feel well, I have a fever…” Elie kept telling the dentist that he was sick for several weeks to postpone having the crown removed.

Finally another example, was they were all crammed into small areas with a lot of people and even bodies of dead people and had very small amounts of food and water, pretty much only enough to keep them alive.

Why is the Holocaust such a horrendous genocide? The Holocaust was an event that spanned nearly four years, and over six million humans of the Jewish religion were enslaved and executed. To know how gross, unbelievable, and horrendous the Holocaust is, the memoir “Night”, written by Elie Wiesel, will surely tell you how. Furthermore, the book starts in a town named “Sighet” in Poland, in which a community of Jews lives in. Wiesel and all the Jews are then grouped up, and freighted off to a concentration camp called “Auschwitz.” Moreover, Auschwitz is one of many of camps; however, Auschwitz is the largest and famous of them all. Wiesel and his father will have many battles with faith and survival throughout the whole book. The Holocaust is the worst genocide ever to happen in the history due to the battle with faith, loss in humanity, and lives that are ruined.

The term ghetto, originally derived from Venetian dialect in Italy during the sixteenth century, has multiple variations of meaning. The primary perception of the word is “synonymous with segregation” (Bassi). The first defining moment of the ghetto as a Jewish neighborhood was in sixteenth century Italy; however, the term directly correlates with the beginning of the horror that the Jewish population faced during Adolph Hitler’s reign. “No ancient ghetto knew the terror and suffering of the ghettos under Hitler” (Weisel, After the Darkness 20). Under Hitler’s terror, there were multiple ghettos throughout several cities in numerous countries ranging in size and population. Ghettos also differed in purpose; some were temporary housing

     Elie tells of his hometown, Sighet, and of Moshe the Beadle. He tells of his family and his three sisters, Hilda, Béa, and the baby of the family, Tzipora. Elie is taught the cabala by Moshe the Beadle. Moshe is taken away and sees an entire train of people murdered by the Gestapo. He returns to Sighet and tries to warn them, but no one believes his story. The Nazis come and take over Sighet. Elie is moved to a ghetto, along with all the other Jews in Sighet. They soon are taken away in a train to Auschwitz.

During the Holocaust, Jewish communities were confined in killing centers called concentration camps such as Buna, Auschwitz, Gleiwitz, and multiple others. At these camps, Jews were forced to work to their death under a program called "Annihilation through Work". Accordingly, they were kept in extremely harsh conditions without any rights. Concentration camps became a major way in which the Nazis imposed their control. The Jews were transported time after time to different camps.As a part of these Jewish communities were Elie and his father. Elie, along with his father, were transported to a new camp called Buna. In these hard times, Elie and his father relied on the gratitude of other inmates to find out information on the new camps they

Its 1944 and young Elie Wiesel is taken from his home in Sighet, Transylvania. After a 12 hour boxcar ride, Elie and the other jew from the town arrive in Oswiecim, Poland. All these innocent people will soon be loaded into the death camp “Auschwitz- Birkenau.” Throughout the Holocaust young Elie has changed from waiting for god to intervene in these horrible times to denying any and all hope from God. Elie says “It was nothing more than chance” (viii) that he survived.

Elie Wiesel once said, “No human race is superior, no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racist make them.” Elie Wiesel was one of those Jews who could make it and survive the Holocaust. The Jews have faced one of the most gruesome crimes throughout history. The Holocaust was the genocide of millions of Jews that took place in Germany. Adolf Hitler and his racist ideology led to the death of many Jews, and this was all because of the different religion that they had. The faces of all the people who had been killed in the Holocaust can hardly be removed from many Jews’ memory. The eyes of those little kids were begging for mercy and peace. Many of them died because they were starving, and many others died

“I forgive you. Not for you, but for me. Because like chains shackling me to the past, I will no longer pollute my heart with bitterness, fear, distrust or anger. I forgive you because hate is just another way of holding on, and you don’t belong here anymore.”-Beau Taplin. Elie Wiesel, author of Night and a survivor of the Holocaust, he tells all in his memoir, Night. In his memoir, he expresses his true feelings while living through the Holocaust. Wiesel gave the ones who persecuted and assassinated his family and millions of others, but he wrote his memoir to specifically let future generations remember what happen to 11 million people. In addition, Wiesel wrote Night to speak for the remembrance of the ones who died. Wiesel was a child when his family and friends were taken

In Night, Elie Wiesel descriptively shares his Holocaust experience in each part of his survival. From the ghettos to the Death March and liberation, Elie Wiesel imparts his story of sadness, suffering and struggle. Specifically Wiesel speaks about his short experience in the Sighet ghettos. Ghettos were implemented early on in the Holocaust for the purpose of segregating and concentrating the Jews before deportation to concentration camps and death camps. Depending on the region, ghettoization ranged from several days to multiple years before deportation. All Jews in ghettos across Europe would eventually face the same fate: annihilation (“Ghettos”). Wiesel’s accurate account of the Sighet ghettos illustrates the poor living conditions, the Judenrat and Jewish life in the ghetto as well as the design and purpose of the two Sighet ghettos. Wiesel’s description of the Sighet ghettos demonstrates the similar characteristics between the Sighet ghettos and other ghettos in Germany and in German-occupied territories in addition to the differences between the various ghettos.
