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.
