“Night” by Elie Wiesel is a terrifying account of the Holocaust during World War II. Throughout this book, we see the life of a young Jewish boy turned upside down by his peaceful habits. The author explores how dangerous times break all social bonds, leaving everyone to fight for themselves. It also shows how a person's survival can be linked to faith and family. The novel begins in a small Hungarian town with a large Jewish population named Sighet. People's and community's lives somehow revolve around other people and religion (Judaism). Most importantly, we see immense attention and concern from citizens; they all help each other and are true to their similar beliefs and values. Eliezer's life begins by revolving around God, as he continues his journey studying Kabbalah and other forms of Jewish religious texts. Initially, Eliezer's belief was a product of Jewish mysticism that God is everywhere and that nothing exists without God. At first, his faith in God is absolute. During the Holocaust, things changed irreparably. The peaceful and calm Jewish community in which Eliezer grew up was shattered into a realm of chaos and selfishness. Eliezer thinks that if all the prisoners united to oppose the cruelty the Nazis inflicted on them, then perhaps he could understand the Nazi threat as an evil anomaly, but instead he sees that the Holocaust exposes the selfishness, evil and cruelty of everyone; not only the Nazis, but also his fellow Jews, and even himself. I believe Elie Weisel is trying to say that in times of chaos, society and communities become corrupt and individuals focus only on their own survival. In other words, communities and societies are breaking down. The sons even turn against their father, in one case the son of Rabbi Eliahu “had felt that his father was weakening, he had believed that the end was near and had sought this separation to get rid of the burden, to free him from a burden that could diminish one's own chances of survival. » Eliezer had guilty thoughts of relieving himself of the burden his father had placed on him, this showed him that the corruption of society had affected him. in God it took its toll; “I was the accuser, God the accused… I was alone, terribly alone in a world without God".
