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.
