Upon arrival to their destination, they quickly learned that they were at a concentration camp.

Elie Wiesel suffered many afflictions during his time held captive in German concentration camps, from being dehumanized to starved, his experiences changed his entire life. His autobiography, Night, portrays his horrific struggles during World War II. Elie Wiesel certainly deserves his biography; out of the millions who were sent to these terrible death camps, he not only survived, but went on to inspire millions as an author, philosopher, and public speaker. Elie was a religious fifteen year old boy living in Sighet, but when his town was overtaken by the Germans, his life turned upside down.

This lasted for months which were not described by him. Elie was strong enough to survive the holocaust which very few were able to do. He undoubtedly thought about suicide many times. His will to live was greatly tested by the holocaust. After he was separated from his mother and sisters all he had left was his father.

he told us “They feed us like we're animals” He was very shy when talking about this and he didn't have words for how bad it was... he told us “I was scared to go to these prison camps but I never imagined so much horror.” So we decided to ask someone else who may tell us more facts about the camp. So we asked William Smith a couple questions.

A single needle attached to a pen holder took away someone’s identity. A pair of disheveled, ill-fitting rags stripped someone of their individuality. Depriving someone of basic necessities took away their soul. Upon arrival at the camps Elie and his father were separated from his female family members, never to see them again. Immediately, Elie along with the other prisoners were subjected to camp life.

It was divided into two sections. Camp 1 was the northern and western sections. The second camp had the gas chambers and the rectangular burial pits. The men and the women were separated from each other. Most likely if you were weak or they thought you were worthless you would go straight to the second camp.

Words are the garb of people’s thoughts. Words can be very powerful and influential both in the society and among people, because whether or not someone choose the right words could change someone's life forever. Brilliant examples of power of words took shape in world’s history. A holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel, who survived the concentration camp, wrote a book ‘Night’, as well as he introduced his acceptance speech to different people all around the world. He sought to restore the amicable and tolerate society where there is no place for such a word as ‘hate’.

“In a few seconds, we had ceased to be men” (PG.36). Elie is a Jewish boy from Transylvania who is taken to Auschwitz, where he is separated from his mother and sister. Elie and his father are then moved to the concentration camp called “Buna”, where they spend most of their time there. They then were forced to be evacuated to Gleiwitz, where they ran about 42 miles to reach their destination. They spent about 3 days at Gleiwitz and then they were transported to Buchenwald by train.

In the beginning of chapter 3, He says “If I was going to kill myself, this was the time.”(33). This young boy, with very little hope right now, wanted to take his own life. He had a feeling that they were going to face a slow death on the flames, so if he wanted to die, he wanted it to be quick. His dad, Schlomo, said to him that they have to stick together, and then they will get out of this mess together and alive. Elie witnessed many things that made him lose his inner happy self.

For most of the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie was determined to remain with his father, after being separated from his mother and sisters during the early years of the Holocaust. Elie’s father, his only remaining relative, was all he had left. Determination to keep them together very well may have been what kept him alive. Eventually, his father’s willpower deteriorated along with his health, making him more of a burden than a tether by the end of the book. Although he still loved his father, Elie no longer needed him.

Elie Wiesel Wiesel had to overcome many adversities such as death, cruelty, and starvation. These adversities made Elie Wiesel become the man he is today; he is truly a humanitarian. Elie Wiesel was born in Sighet, Transylvania, on September 30th, 1928. He was 15 when he and his family where sent to a camp by the Nazi’s, seperating him and his father from his mother and sisters. His mother and younger sister were murdered, his two older sisters survived; as did he, and his father died shortly after the both of them were sent to Buchenwald.

The refugee camps had all kinds of issues. At the Itang refugee camp Salva was all by himself with no family or friends, but his Uncle’s advice helped him live through it. He just kept going, one day at a time. Later he traveled to the Kakuma refugee camp. Not only was the Kakuma refugee camp isolated in a parched, windy desert, but was also enclosed with barbed wire.

And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering humiliation”. This quote that Elie Wiesel uses in his speech shows that the world was silent after the war. He knew that nobody would know what the holocaust was like, so he told the world about it in his speech and in his book. Wiesel decided since he was one of the last survivors that he will not be silent about it. This is one main reason he wrote the speech and the story The Night, and well deserved the Nobel Peace Prize award.
