When Elie wrote his memoir, Night, he conveyed his tone of abandonment towards his morals and humanity which strengthened his ideas about people and the world around him . Set in Nazi Germany, Night explains how the Holocaust ripped Jews from a happy life, took away everything that meant anything to Jewish culture and life, and imposed slavery on abused, heavy-handed people of Hitler and the ruthless SS soldiers. The Nazis were merciless towards the Jews. “If anyone disappears, you will all be shot” (24) declared one of the soldiers at Eliezer's cattle truck. The SS loved to show off their power to the Jews, mostly by killing or wounding, emotionally and physically, without thinking twice about how the tortured bodies they attack feel like. The Nazis, created by a cruel man in a cruel time, were able to take what little power their movement possessed and mold this power into a horrible murderer, bent on killing the Jews. For Jewish culture in the Holocaust concentration camps, it was only important for survival. Morals were only secondary, although of some importance when considering actions in a person's life. When the bread crusts entered the seething mass of hungry people, chaos ensued. Elie observed “these emancipated creatures, ready to kill for a crust of bread” (101). One son even killed his own father, just for 2 crusts of that extraordinary substance. This moment in time reminds me of the book The Hunger Games, where kids no older than 18 kill each other for money and a better life. And for no other reason than that! The complete abandonment of morality by the concentration camp inhabitants is most perfectly expressed by one of Elie's Blockäteste: "In this place every man for himself" (110) regarding the...... middle of the paper. .....oup had to endure. The whole idea of ​​using Jews, or any other human being as slaves, is simply immoral. The Holocaust was a revolting time, started by a hateful man, whose only goal in life was to take those who were not like him and tear their lives apart, causing them to abandon their morals and humanity. There is almost no nothing more horrific than the Holocaust, but the emotional and physical wear and tear on Jewish minds can be compared to the 9/11 attacks. These attacks shocked our nation and nearly brought us to our knees. The same terror and shock occurred when Hitler came to power, except with the concentration camps the murders multiplied hundreds of times. No wonder Elie was so devastated after this experience! But what would have happened if Hitler had been stopped? The Germans would have stained themselves with his name, or they would have saved themselves from the eternal contamination of his ideals??
