Boy 30529 Chapter Summary

The last passage in the book, on page 115, stood out to me the most. Elie Wiesel describes the first time he looks at himself in the mirror since he was in the ghetto, and he is stunned by what he sees. This passage highlights how severely the Holocaust affected Elie, as well as millions of other Jews. It had not only separated Elie from his family, who he would never see again, but it stripped him of his humanity. Before the war, and even in the ghetto, Elie had hope, his family, his faith, and his innocence.

Weinberg then feels a sense of injustice and understands that his memories and stories must be shared so the world could understand the hardships that the Jewish population as well as the homosexuals endured. The events of the Holocaust are those which both Elie Wiesel and Harry Weinberg similarly believe should be shared.

Both Jewish men think "the world shouldn't forget" the most atrocious crime committed by man.

What kind of world do we live in?

This book begins with Wiesel’s communications with his doctor as he learns his heart is failing, not his stomach. Wiesel initially reacts to this news with disbelief and denial. He then reflects on his life with his wife and the things he experienced. Most notably, Wiesel faces his ongoing questioning of God, and where it has lead. I think I should learn more about the Holocaust and the individual impact it had on a person who has gone through it.

The reader learns what Elie went through to survive the concentration camps. For Wiesel to survive such trauma makes the memoir so effective. Wiesel’s

Mercedes Andrade 10/6/17 A Reflection on “This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen” In this story, Tadeusz Borowski describes what is an almost a typical day at Auschwitz, a concentration camp during World War II. The events that the narrator participates in and is a witness of, describes how there is a loss of morality in situations that involve life or death.

In Night, a non-fictional novel, Elie Wiesel, the author, recounts his experience with his father at Nazi German concentration camps in Auschwitz and Buchenwald. A memoir on the Holocaust, the novel addresses the task of describing the indescribable and does it quite well, taking readers on an emotional roll coaster. The novel evokes various feelings including sadness and anger as Wiesel describes explicit details of his experiences during the Holocaust. After reading Night, I felt powerless and depressed as I reflected on my perspective of humanity. I also felt disappointed and frustrated with the details perhaps due to the fact that the details came from a true story.

Life is full of good and bad experiences, but you don’t always have control of what happens. That can be scary sometimes and it depends on how you handle it as to whether you get out of that situation. In the memoir Night written by Elie Wiesel, Eli, a teenager had been taken away from his home and taken to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Night is the scary record of Elie Wiesel’s memories of the death of his own family and the death of his own innocence as he tries to fight his way out of the concentration camp. Over the course of the book, Eli changes from a believer in God living in bearable conditions to someone who has become profane because of the situation he’s been put in.

Zachary Jaglowski Prof. Ghen Zando-Dennis Media Literacy Cinematheque # 2 The film, Kinderblock 66: The Return to Buchenwald is not just the account of four men who returned to Buchenwald, it is the story of the 1000's of boys who were imprisoned in the Nazi concentration camp called Kinderblock 66. The four survivors tell the story for the 1000s of boys who survived and those who unfortunately died. It's a powerful story of the survival and humanity. I have seen movies and was taught in history class about the World War II and the Nazi's concentration camps, however, this film documentary stands alone in its telling of the children of the Holocaust and the humanity of a group of men that made a difference in their young lives.

The book “Night” does a great job at explaining harshness of the concentration camps he had been in, and he does so with such detail, the book has also reached a myriad amount of people. The book Night explained what the camps look and felt like, so we could get a better picture of what it felt like. Explaining what the camps in as much detail as he did is important so we can visualize how bad it actually was in the camps “The courtyard turned into something like an antechamber to an operating room”.

When in the last pages of the book, I wept. Not only did I weep for the holocaust, but I wept for grace. The fact that someone can endure all that he endured, yet have the grace to go on, and to even forgive, is remarkable. I believe this was his purpose, and he, by every means achieved it in my book. To be completely honest, I think the book is perfect.
