Holocaust
The website " The Holocaust; Facts and Figures" says how approximately 6 million Jews were killed during the holocaust and about 1.1 million Jews were Killed too.

Hitler would tell the Germans to kill the Jews, they attacked Jews because the Nazis considered them a race, also because they thought Jews were the cause of losing world war I. The Nazis also wanted some land so they thought that by getting rid of the Jews they would be able to keep their land. This war began in 1939 in Europe.

In class we read the nonfiction book, Night by Elie Wiesel. It is a story about Elie, as a young teen, being a victim of the Holocaust and the gruesome situations he been in. In the book Elie says, “The world is not interested in us” (Wiesel 33). I believe that this statement is true. The world did not do anything to save the Jewish people and just observed them being treated like objects.
The book Night is based on a true story; it is based on the Holocaust and Elie Wiesel, who is a survivor of the Holocaust. It is important not to forget about the Holocaust because it was a horrific time when Jews were tortured. Jews should not have been tortured in such an unforgivable way. They were just normal people and did not hurt anyone. Elie tells his story about how the Nazi officers took him and his family from their houses and separated him from his mother and sister.

The love between humans in this world is warm, sometimes fragile or is distorted
---Rough Draft--- While we probably all know that the Holocaust was a horrible stain on the fabric of society, Elie Wiesel's book shows that the acts of the Nazi's are more horrible towards the Jews than some of us may have been led to believe. Elie originates from a town known as Sighet located in what was previously known as Transylvania. Though Sighet was not part of Germany or Hungary, they were still abused by the SS soldiers, by trapping them in fenced off ghettos. They also soon transported them in a terrible cattle car ride, and treated them like slaves. But the meat of the story takes place in the concentration camp(s), where they are given minimal amounts of food and judged like dogs to see if they are worth keeping.
To be Human How does one remain himself as everything he has ever known is ripped away from him? Elie Wiesel recalls his own experiences with this challenge in his self written book, Night. In this book, Wiesel takes you on a eye opening ride to see and experience the hard life of Jewish people under German Control. Wiesel shows how to accomplish the nearly impossible, surviving.
By the end of the story Elie has little compassion left, only for his family members. Compassion also affected other characters like Mrs. Schacter and the Blockaleste. Characters have used compassion in order to help each other survive but having a lack of compassion also has effect on
(Wiesel 82). Elie is heartbroken when this event occur because throughout the whole story Elie’s role model was his father and to see him get beaten made him lose hope. During their times in the camp the suffering laid upon on both Elie and his father made them give up on themselves and feel like they didn’t have a chance to make it out or survive. This was shown once again in depth when Elie said to himself, “Were there still miracles on this earth?” (Wiesel 76).
