option 1 question 5

The author's style is very simple. Sometimes he uses just a word or a fragment instead of a sentence. this style is effective and brings out the emotional aspect of Elie Wiesel's experience. It is shocking how the tone and the mood contrast each other. the tone of Night is very calm and indifferent. on the other hand the novel's mood is very dark and foreboding. people get killed and tortured left and right and the author's tone never changes.

Number 3

Option 3

In the Novel The Night, the Concentration Camps that Elie is sent too, the camps always seem less threatening in the daytime. The night is the the Nazi's greatest ally in the race to get rid of the Jews before the Russians save them. During the Night, the Jews are scared out of their minds as the flame of the crematoria becomes visible, as the scent of blood has an unknown orgin, as the bodies on the ground appear and disappear. Without the night, the jews would be stronger, and have more hope for the end. This is what the Nazi's dont want, they want to kill them on the inside, then the outside. Elie talks to his father about this regularly when they are new to the camps, but it slowly fades away as these fears are more regular, and more accepted. In the day time, the jews can still see that there is a world out there, and that the world hasent given up on them yet. But during the night, all humanity of the world just disappears, and the world as they know it, transforms into hell on earth. The Jews including Elie and Chlomo accept this, and embrace it. The strong ones believe that it will be over, and they can get back to life, but the weak fall over, to their death.

"NIGHT" option 5

The journey of Ellie Wiesel is a very courageous and inspiring tale, but the fact that this actually happened makes it astounding. You feel for Ellie more than you would a fictional character. The memoir aspect also brings the realization that the Holocaust actually happened and was a bad as it has been made out to be. It adds a huge amount of truth to the events. You begin to think more about the events, and you get sucked into the story of a young boy and his fight for survival, and his human qualities. The way that Ellie wrote this book makes it very real, and i realized how horrible the Holocaust was.

significance of "Night": option 1, number 3

The significance of "night" in the novel is that the majority of the events happen at night. Also at night, everything seems to be much more gruesome and scary to the characters as well as the readers. At night, the prisoners had to fight their worries to stay faithful and try to stay positive. "Night. No one prayed, so that the night would pass quickly. The stars were only psarks of the first which devoured us. Should that fire die out one day, there would be nothing left in the sky but dead stars, dead eyes." "There was nothing else to do but to get into bed, into the beds of the absent ones; to rest, to gather one's strength."-p.18

how the concentration camps changed the jews attitude

In the book "Knight" Elie Wissel was very religious. He would pray every night before he went to sleep and while he would pray he would cry. When Elie and his family first arrived at the concentration camp he slowly starting slipping away from god. It started out with him questioning god because he thought that if god was a great god like he once thought he was then why he was at a concentration camp why were all the Jews being killed or treated like dogs. If god was a great god than why was he letting all of this happen? Elie thought that their was a god but not a good god no he thought that it was a bad god. Soon enough Elie even forgot about that their was a god he would not think about god, and when his father passed away no prays were said. Also most Jews lost hope in survival and forgot about their families thinking that they were dead only thought about themselves. The Jews were being treated like dogs and were forced to live in horrible conditions and got food thrown at them like if the were animals and were even being called dogs. Eventually most Jews lost control and were acting like the animals that they were called. Jews would kill each other over a piece of bread, allot of them lost control. They were out of their minds insane. Some even wanted to get away from their old relatives that still lived because they did not want to deal with them or being in risk of dying. They said that in a concentration camp you had no family no friends you only had yourself. That you should only care about yourself and no one else to be as selfish as you can.

Dr Mengele

Dr Mengele was a sick and twisted soul that used humans as his test subjects for his experiments during World War II. Also referred to as the “Angel of Death” Dr Mengele took Jews out of the concentration camps and used them as his “patients”. These “patients” were put into pressure chambers, tested with drugs, castrated, frozen to death, and exposed to a various number of other traumas. Mengele performed both physical and psychological experiments, the transfusion of blood from one twin to another was often preformed, and he is reported to have bled some to death this way. The Dr would draw a line on the wall of the children’s block between 150 and 156 centimeters from the floor. He would then send those whose heads could not reach the line to the gas chambers. 1.2 million Jewish children, tens of thousands of gypsy children and thousands of handicapped children were murdered under Nazi rule in Germany. Dr Mengele died while swimming, he had a massive stroke and drowned.

fact or fiction

The Holocaust, generally described as the most gruesome period in history, is a total and complete lie. The use of gas chambers is nothing but a rumor. Gas rooms were used to exterminate Jews in large groups, with Jews going in every 30 minutes to an hour. Yet the chemicals allegedly used take 20 hours to air out a room disinfected with Zyklon-B, which makes it impossible for any guards to force Jews into the rooms without burning themselves. In fact it would take over 68 years to kill six million people in these gas chambers. There was also talk of crematoriums, but they never seem to mention where the ashes went to. With over six million people killed in the holocaust we have no idea where remains belong. Looking in an old almanac the Jewish population between 1940 and 1949 was raised by almost 600,000. Europe actually had the most growth rate, with 433,058. Yet, at the same time 6 million Jews died, I don’t understand how this works. The facts don’t add up, the holocaust still has to work out the kinks before it can be accepted as true by everyone.


bytheway, I actually do believe in the holocaust.

Dr. Josef Mengele freezes the stage

Although the Holocaust was a devastating blow to all humanity, thanks to Dr. Josef Mengele’s wicked experiments, we now have a greater understanding of the biological setup of the human body. Most of his experiments were 110% disturbing. One famous experiment was to answer the questions: “How long would it take to lower the body temperature to death? After frozen, what is the best way to resuscitate the frozen victim?” His two main methods of this experiment was to put the victim in a tub full of icy water and/or place the victim outside, naked, in sub-zero temperatures. The result was the “icy vat of water” method proved to be the fastest way to drop the body temperature. The second part of the experiment was to see if you can defrost the human body and see if they could live or not. One method was the use of the sun lamp. The victim was placed under a sun lamp that was so hot that they would burn the skin. One young homosexual victim was repeatedly cooled to unconsciousness then revived with the lamps until he was pouring sweat (he later died after several test sessions). The "Hot Bath" method was one of the best and most successful of all methods. The victim would be placed in warm water, while the temperature would slowly increase. From this experiment, we learned that the human body can unfreeze only if the temperature of the water would slowly increase. If it was quickly increased then the body would go into too much shock and practically fry. Over all, Dr. Mengele's experiments taught the military world that the human body could be saved if the soldier was unconscious and frozen. It also gave a little more insight or understanding to the human temperature.

Option 1: Examples of dehumanization

Throughout the novel, the Jewish prisoners are dehumanized to the point where they lose all the human qualities that separate them from animals. This process started with small steps when the Hungarian police invaded Sighet. They provide the Jews with three rules: they could not leave their house, they were forbidden to own any valuables, and most importantly, they all must wear a yellow star. The yellow star forced them to be seen different than all other people and unequal. Once the Jews leave Sighet forever, they are pushed into cattle cars that are filled with one-hundred people. In the cars, there is barely enough room for one to sit. The incredibly full cars are used to carry animals, and the Jews are being resembled as them. As the Jews arrive camps, they witness people murdered before their eyes. At first they react as any other would on the inside, but on the outside, they remain calm. This is one of the first signs of the prisoner’s dehumanization. As the novel goes on, their dehumanization continues to increase. It reaches the peak when the prisoners are in the cars again. Bread is thrown into the cars and an old man grabs a piece. His own son then kills him for the food, but is soon killed for that same piece of bread. This shows that one will do anything for their own survival in times like this, and all human qualities will be lost. Their dehumanization is the result from the conditions at the camps.

How concentration camps changed Jews...

At the beginning of the novel night the Jews were pretty happy with their lives, they would go about like any normal person on any normal day. When they started to get transfered out into the concentration camps they weren't treated very well at all and they lost sight of how things were good and got to the point of wanting to die. On there journey through it all they were put in harsh conditions, snowing and they are wearing nothing but shoes and carrying there belts. They had to watch there loved ones and the people they cared about that kept them alive die, by either starving to death, getting trampled, shot, burned, beaten, froze, and/or hung from either being to weak, not doing what the SS officer told you to do or not getting passed the selection. The Jews beliefs faded, Elie couldn't figure out how god could be a good person when he is putting them through these things. They also valued the things they could that they had left from there old lives anything they could hold on too kept most of them from letting themselves die. This showed that the littlest things can keep thousands of Jews wanting to stay alive and live through it. At the end of the journey the thousands, maybe millions of Jews had to run 45 miles in the dumping snow to make it to a new camp, many people died during this and didn't make it to the end. All in all the concentration camps changed the Jews attitude tremendously, anyone who survived this long, awful journey was a strong willed person.

Option 1, Number 2

In Night, there are many examples of dehumanization. Dehumanization begins when the Jews are forbidden to go outside of their residences. Their valuables are later taken away and then they are forced to wear the yellow star. After the ghetto is created, life returns to normal. Then Elie’s father gets the news of transports. The Jews are then packed into cattle cars that contain limited air, water, and space. They now resemble animals, they no longer are of any significance and their only purpose is to be transported. During this ride, the Jews begin to forget their morals and beat Mrs. Schachter when she screams about seeing a fire. In the dark of night, the Jews arrive at the concentration camp. When they leave the cattle cars, they are also forced to leave everything they had behind. The smoke rises up and immediately consumes the hope of many. Crematoriums are being filled by Jews with babies and children. Man and wife are separated and so are millions of families. Later, the prisoners get numbers tattooed on their arms and they no longer get called by name, like livestock. They are shoved into packed barracks and are forced to sleep without sheets. Not only are the conditions they live in are terrible, but they are forced to run 42 miles while SS officers shout at them like they are filthy beasts. All throughout the novel, the Jews are dehumanized and oppressed by the Germans.

Night option 1 number 2

Option 1, Number 2

Auschwitz and the other concentration camps changed the Jews attitudes about many things. The camps also somewhat brainwashed the Jews into wanting to be the last man alive, not caring about anybody else. One of the main ways the Jews attitudes’ change is how they lost faith in their religion at one point or another. A good example of when Elie lost his faith is when the kapos are telling the Jews to recite “Blessed be the name of the Eternal.” Elie is asking himself why he should bless the Eternal. All that he could think of is how God created the holocaust and is to blame for his encampment. Elie goes on to pinpoint how the Almighty had thousands of children burned and keeps 6 crematories working day and night, even on Sundays and feast days. People have seen their family burned and tortured because of Him. During the march the Rabbi’s son saw him struggling, but continued to run on so that he could stay alive for at least one day. The holocaust and concentration camps changed the Jews attitudes’ in many ways and corrupted their minds.

Angel of Death

They called him “The Angel of Death.” Born March 16, 1911, Dr. Josef Mengele, the oldest of 3 sons, would grow up to be a surviving symbol of Adolf Hitler. He spent 21 months at Auschwitz performing “long-drawn-out rituals of death.” Mengele was the head of the gas chambers and the crematoria. He would sort hiss victims, mostly children, out through processes such as drawing lines across the walls of their blocks. These lines would be around 150 to 156 centimeters (about 5 feet) and if the top of the child’s head did not reach the line they were sent to be gassed. Mengele was responsible for the death of around four hundred thousand souls. He was famous for the medical experiments he preformed on the Jewish people. He would do experiments such as take twins and inject their hearts with chloroform, killing them instantly, and then dissect them. He experimented on children trying to do this like chemically change their eye color, or sew them together in hopes to create Saimses twins Due to Mengele’s particular interest in twins the three thousand some twins who came through Auchwitz were treated better then most other Jews. He would often give the children chocolates and some surviving twins say he was almost like a father figure, and some even called him Uncle Mengele. “The Angel of Death” died in 1979 in South America, and in 1992 they confirmed the remains to be that of Mengele.This man was one who inflicted pain and agony, although making some amazing medical advancements. He was pretty much a turd face.

"Night" (option 3)

“It was close to midnight.” Sleeping was not an option as everyone awaited Elie’s father’s return. He had returned from his meeting at last, his face covered in doubt. The ghetto was to be liquidated immediately. No one slept that night. Everyone was busy packing and preparing for the day ahead, although their minds couldn’t imagine what was to come. But it was night now, and everything was okay. They could relax for the moment because they knew their safely would last throughout the nighttime.
“Night. No one was praying for the night to pass quickly.” Night was a break could where the Jews could forget the harsh life they would face during the day. Night was a time when Jews could dream and escape reality. It was a break from the running, the exhaustion, and the wrath of the Germans. At night they could lie down, sleep, and rest. They could forget they had gone days without food and ran miles without stopping.
Night brought reassurance of humanity. It allowed the prisoners to remember what it was like to live normal again. The guards weren't bothering them and the war was on hold. At night, they could forget the bad and dream about the good. At night, the war didn't matter. At night, they were okay.

Holocaust Camps

Millions of people were killed. It is known as the greatest genocide in history, and it is the Holocaust. Concentration camps and extermination camps were brutal areas where Nazis killed whoever they wanted to, but primarily Jews. The prisoners would work as slaves; everyday they would do labor work, and receive close to nothing in return. There food and water was limited, as well as clothing and material for warmth. Many Jews would work to death. For the small portion of prisoners who survived the work, would suffer and die from other conditions. The main cause for death after extreme labor was starvation and disease. The prisoners were served rations of bread and soup, barely enough to survive on, and many people couldn’t make it. The last main reason for death would be a mixture between exhaustion and being beat. If the prisoners were tired, they would usually be killed for being too weak. They would get shot, be burned, be placed in gas chambers, or they would be killed by each other. Most prisoners who arrived at the gates of an extermination camp were killed within a few hours after walking through the gates. If the prisoner was kept to do labor at the camp, they would work as throwing alive humans into fires, or removing dead bodies from gas chambers. Throughout years of unbearable living conditions, mass murder became a daily routine, killing millions of prisoners.

Dehumanization

Option 1 #1
Throughout the holocaust, the Germans stripped the Jewish people of their humanity in a number of ways. They stuffed the Jews into tiny cattle cars with barely enough space between one another to even breathe, treating hem like animals. Then the Germans took all of their personal belongings and all of their clothes, gave them all similar outfits, shaved their heads, and replaced their names with numbers, stripping their individuality and identity by making them all look the same. the Germans would throw Jewish babies in the air so their fellow officers could use them for target practice. The Jews weren't fed well, forcing them into a "survival of the fittest" situation where the Jews would sometimes have to kill one another for food, some even killed family members. With many other examples of how the Jewish people where stripped of their humanity, just about every single thing the Jews did differently from one another and didn't benefit the Germans was not allowed.

(1) Examples of Dehumanization

The abominations committed by the fascist party called the Nazis were so horrific they shook the foundation on which the human race was built. The Nazis inhumanity was so great it redefined the word. One of the most horrific examples of the Nazis crimes are described in Night as Elie is being transported from Auschwitz in the cattle cars. The German citizens are tossing bread into the cars, turning brothers on brothers, fathers on sons, and changing a group of human beings into complete animals. They are forced by their instincts and their hunger to fight to the death for their survival, all the while being watched as if a movie or play. The men in these cages are not men at all, the cruelty and inhumanity of the Nazis has turned them into something else entirely. They stripped the Jews of all their possessions, their clothes, their hair, and turned them into a number. Now these people are not humans who study Jusdiasm, they are walking corpses, simply awaiting their fate in the cremetorium or by hanging. I personally would be unable to deal with anything Wiesel goes through in Night and I think he couldn't have said it better when he said he wrote Night not so that we may understand, but so that we can know we can never understand.

Dehumanization

The whole idea of the Holocaust was to dehumanize all Jews and strip them from their identity. The moment they arrived at the concentration camp, they got their heads shaved and clothes taken away. They were treated like cattle, receiving demands to move as a group, and give up their valuable and clothes. No one was treated as a human—babies were used for target practice, children dumped their parents into the crematoriums, and they were given just enough food to get out of bed. The Jews were treated like animals and nothing more. They even rode in cattle cars while being transfered from Eastern Europe to Germany. They moved like livestock as they were given orders to march ahead. It was as if the Jews lost all emotion inside of them. They did not react to everything as they did before the Holocaust, and they afraid of much less. As bombs were blowing up the camp they stood in, they were not afraid because death was already so close to them. Hitler’s mission was to dehumanize the Jewish race and exterminate all those who did not have blonde hair and blue eyes. On the other side, the Nazis were dehumanizing themselves as well. No human should act the way they did—the murderous violence that occurred does not well portray the human race. During the Holocaust, dehumanization took place as the Jews were beaten, killed, and their race was discriminated against.

Option 1, how ignorance led to oppression

The Jews of Sighet refused to beleive Moshe the Beadle when he survived the deportation of the foreign Jews. They assumed that Moshe the Beadle was crazy and nothing bad like the things he described could ever happen to them. They doubted that Hitler was even attempting to exterminate the Jews at all. Even when they hear about the Germans attacking Jewish shops and synagogues in Budapest, they convince themselves that the Germans will stay there. The German army comes to Sighet a few days later. The Germans are in their own town, but the Jews continue to think optimistically and that nothing bad could happen to them. Eventually, the Germans shut down synagogues and arrested the leaders of the Jewish community. They are forced to live in a ghetto, but still they still think they will be rescued by the Red Army before the Germans have a chance to deport them. The Jews are then loaded onto trains and sent to concentration camps. The ignorance of the Jews of Sighet absolutely led to their deaths at the hands of the Germans. They knew what was going to happen, but they refused to believe it. They had months to escape before the Germans arrived, but they continued to stay.

Option #1 choice #2 How do the concentration camps change the Jews attitude

In the beginning of the novel, the jews were happy and content with how they lived. After passover, the Germans made the Jews wear the yellow star and divided the town into two ghettos. Two weeks later they were evacuated and sent to Auschwitz. Their names were changed into numbers, elkminating classes or different types of people; no one judged you because of what you looked like or how rich you were: everyone was the same and no one was an individual. They were a thing that was killed because of what they blieved in. Their attitudes changed because of the creatoriums and seeing one another being killed. They questioned God's absolute justice, some denying his existance. The Jews began not caring for each other, turning their backs on one another for food and water. In the camps, you could not trust anyone, and if someone saw you with a piece of bread, you would most likely get mauled and killed for a bite. Humanity forgotten, Jewish imates behaved like animals in order to survive.

2. Discuss how concrentration camps change the jews attitude?
The Jews that did survive the Holocaust will never escape the pain they endured. They didnt understand why this was happening, they wondered where was god in this horrible times. Some had to fight to survive, often giving up faith when they were in concrentration camps. Though tired, they knew giving up meant death. To see their family be sent one by one to crematories was hurtful. When they were in the camps, inmates began to turn on each other because of food; some were even killed over bread. They soon forgot about their morals life and some complained about wanting to die because of all their tasks for survival. In the book Night, someone stated to Elie they had more faith in Hitler then anything else because he kept his promises. They felt powerless towards the SS soldiers, and therefore everyone in the holocaust had a diffetrent perspective on life in the camps and when they made it. Wittnessing and expereinceing these horrors, survivors can move on, but never forget.

Option 1- The significance of Night"

"Never shall I forget that night, that first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed…” Night is the time when the SS officers came for the Jews in the communities before they were evacuated to the concentration camps. The Jewish prisoners had gone on a long journey at night, running endlessly for miles. Also, it was a time when you could think about what was going on. The Jew’s are going through many things that are implausible and night is the time when they can mentally escape. With some exceptions, Night is when they could relax and didn’t have to work or worry about dying or how hungry they are. In addition, day and night are like black and white. Just like how their life’s had changed since they had arrived.Its significant how people usually sleep at night, and these guys are not sleeping. Overall, night is when Jew's escape and constipate all that is going on , it shows how everyone has changed since the concentration camps.

Option 2

Because the Jews were so ignorant, Hitler led them to believe in his specific reasons describing why they were killed and encamped. Hitler simply hated the Jews and because he felt so much hatred towards them he knew he had the right to get rid of them. They were said to be the reason the Germans were defeated in WW1, so Hitler rounded them up and encamped them as well as slaughtered them. No one had wanted to go to war and because the Jews brought war upon the people Hitler thought they deserved to pay for it. Although he hated them he also believed they were a plague. He feared that the plague required extermination for the survival of families and the people of Germany so he simply killed them. As well as the Jews simply being a problem, Hitler had a view and his view was an Aryan race consisting of Aryans and only Aryans. He was convinced that the Jews, gays, and other races were too weak for Germany and were only holding Germany back from its full potential. It is not possible that any of these reasons were reasons enough to wipe out a whole population of people and Hitler must of know that.

12 million people were massacared during the Holocaust from 1933 to 1945 in Germany and Poland. The point of the Holocaust was to come up with the perfect race called the Arians. Hitler was the leader of all of this and was very power hungry. He killed poles, Romanians, soviet civilians, soviet prisoners; people with disabilities, and homo sexual were killed. Most women and children were killed right away and the men were sent right to work with barley any food or water everyday. Prisoner were to be shot if they were to do anything wrong. There were over 20,000 concentration camps built all around Europe to make it easier to eliminate the Jews. The Nazis were very good at going into towns and fitting in and then moving everybody to concentration camps. The main killing machine that was used was the gas chambers. They would tell the prisoners that there getting a shower and then put gas into the rooms and kill everybody.

option 1- #1

The Germans dehumanize the Jews in just about everything they do. All the Jews are stuffed into cattle cars on their way to the concentration camps. they are treating the Jews like animals. When they arrive at the camps the Jews are stripped of everything they own or anything of value. they are forced to take off their clothes, even their underwear, they are given clothes identical to each other. A barber shaves their heads identical to each other, and are given a tattoo which says a number that is their new name. The Kapos throw babies up into the air and use them as target practice. The Jews aren't getting fed enough so by the end of the book they are killing each other for food. a child kills his own father for another serving of bread, but after the Kapos kill him. While Elie's father is in his bunk his neighbors start to beat him up and during the night they steal his portion of soup and bread. Another example is when every one is marching and a child starts to march faster to get away from his father. Then later the father comes in looking for his child. Every one is starting to turn against each other. Now it is one man for himself. The Germans Dehumanize the Jews with just about every thing they do.

Option 1 Number 2

"...a corpse gazed back at me."-Elie Wiesel

After their time in concentration camps, the prisoners came back empty corpses, just a shell of the human beings they were years ago. When the terrorizing first began for the Jews, they were scared, but they still had hope. However, in their hope was ignorance. They had no inkling of the hardships they were yet to face. Herded into cattle cars, the Jews were on their way to Auschwitz. Terror overcame them at the smell of burning flesh and unwelcoming conditions at the concentration camp. Already they were starting to question their faith, which was most important and unfaltering to them. Family, at the beginning, was important but not worth risking their own lives as well. Nothing was said when a loved one was getting beaten, it was every man for himself. This was understandable for survival, but it only got worse in the later years of being in the camps. Faith was all but completely forgotten after awhile. There was no reason to think that God should be blessed in any way. Not for creating a living hell. Not for eliminating an ethnic race that had believed so profoundly in Him. Soon, family did not matter. If an elderly member was of any inconvinience, he was left behind. Sons were killing their fathers for scraps of food. There was no compassion or recognition in their eyes, only ravenous hunger. Upon the release of the concentration camps, all faith was gone, and their soul had vanished. They were empty.

option 1

Examples of dehumanization.

Throughout Night there are many examples of dehumanization. It starts when the Nazi’s enforce all sorts of rules before and during the time they were in the ghetto. They were still at their own homes and they were being given all sorts of rules. When they were being transported to Auschwitz they were taken in cattle carts. 80 of them had to fit in one cart. When they had to be transported again later on in the book they were in cattle cars too, but this time they had to fit 100 of them. When someone would die they would throw out the dead bodies and keep moving on. During that trip 100 got on and 12 got off. As they arrive at Auschwitz they are stripped of there names. They no longer have names; they have numbers tattooed on their arm. This is taking away their identity and what is left of them. Taking their names away forms them into nothing. They thought it would be easier to kill nothing then something so they took away their names. The Jewish culture is one they will soon forget. The Nazi’s only let them celebrate their god at the holiday. It’s taking away their culture and freedom; those are human rights. The reckless killing going on all around them at all times doesn’t help. All they see are dead people and people dying. After a certain time in the book it doesn’t even affect them anymore. They are so used to see the dead there is no more sympathy or fear. That is not human. As the book goes on they get treated like animals more and more. Sometimes they don’t get food for days, they get whipped, and then they start acting like animals. They kill each other for food and other rations. At the end they hardly have any control over themselves. They are being dehumanized and it shows in their actions.

Option 2 Austin

The Nazis have many reasons behind killing all of the Jews they killed. The nazis thought they were doing the right thing in killing all of these people. Many German people were persuaded that Jews were the reason of their economic crisis. Nazis even blamed Jesus' death on Jews. It's said that Hitler hated Jews because of a early lifetime experience. Hitler's main reason of killing them was to make the perfect race. They called it Aryan and Jews were looked at as non-Aryan, so they killed them off so they could have this perfect race. This race was non-Jewish, and caucasains with German or Nordic ancestry. Hitler and the Nazis thought that they were doing good killing off all the Jews. The Jews were not thought to be normal people. They were looked as not even people at all, like a different kind of being. Not human, different than everyone else. Thats why it was so easy for the Nazis to kill so many of them, because they felt like they weren't killing people. They felt they were killing a different race, different species. This "species" was bad for Europe, for Germany.

Option 1

the significance of night

The novel Night reveals how important events often occur at night. Eliezer always describs very well all the nights thought the novel. One of those times was when it was new years, elizer described the stars and how most of the Germans were happy, except for him and his dad. The German during Rosh Hashanah started saying ''blessed be the name of the Eternal''.Another time was when eliezer and his dad were in the railroad. He described how people died and how he felt the nights were "endless" for him. Eliezer always asks god why are this people going to this hard time, and how the germans stopped to get rid of all the dead people by throwing them to the snow. Another thing that elizer described in the railroad was when all the people got in a fight of a pieze of bread. This is how significant the novel night is.

option one # 1

Through the entire period of the Holocaust, for about four years, dehumanization took place. These men, women, and children were tortured, killed, and lived in concentration camps just because of a different way of thinking and looking. To be transferred around Germany and Eastern Europe, the many people were packed into cattle train cars, putting them on an equal level as livestock. They were treated as if they were animals, living in places that were unsanitary and filthy, getting fed old rations of food just so they can barely stay alive, and working day after day just as farm animals. Also, they got their identities taken away by having tattoos of numbers on their wrists. They were called by numbers and didn’t have names anymore. Imagine getting taken out of your house and taken from your normal life as being a regular civilian to living like a pig and being forced to be less than human. Another example of dehumanization happening was when they got blamed for the economic and social problems of Germany. With propaganda from the Nazis the Jewish got out casted from the rest of humanity. The dehumanization was organized by the Hitler and his many followers to try to get the Jewish to feel as little human as possible and to get rid of as many of the Jews as they could. They did this because they believed Jewish people shouldn’t live and they were against the “ideal” race Hitler was trying to build which was the Aryans, with blonde hair and blue eyes. This made the Jewish feel as though just because they didn’t fit these requirements they didn’t belong, and didn’t look at themselves as humans, because that was how they were treated.

UNVENT AN OPPOSITE ……………

The opposite of hug is a push when I was little my older brother would always give me nice big warm hugs and a kiss on the check I loved it! I would always be so happy and the I would just ask my brother to hug forever and to never let me I did not want my brother to leave. My brothers hugs were always that magic touch for me I could be crying in my room mad at the world but my brother would come in and give me that big hug of his and everything would be better for me. But I remember that this one time when he came from his mothers house and I was sitting on the couch watching cartoons but every second or so I would see the time and when my brother came in I ran to him and standed their waiting for his hug and their was no hug he just sort of push me and said what’s up little sis I did not say anything I just stood their motionless thinking that it was just some sort of joke so I let that one slide but then the next couple of visits were the same I was so upset with my brother and I did not want to tell him that I wanted a simple hug from him not a push but I was scared that he would just look at me weirdly and say no so every time that my brother would come I would just go to my room and stop waiting for him their times when he never even came in my room so say hello but I was over it myn and my brothers relationship slowly separated over the years and it all started with him not giving his hugs and me simply not asking for one.
