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.
