Excerpts from Elie Wiesel's Night 
pg. 26



“Everybody get out!  Everyone out of the wagon!   Quickly!”
We  jumped out.  I threw a  last glance toward Madame Schächter. 
Her little boy was holding her hand.
In  front  of  us flames.  In  the  air that  smell of  burning flesh.  It 
must  have  been  about  midnight.  We  had  arrived—  at Birkenau, reception centre for Auschwitz.


pg. 83


"We were masters of nature, masters of the world. We had 
forgotten everything-death, fatigue, and our natural needs. Stronger 
than cold or hunger, stronger than the shots and the desire to die, 
condemned and wandering, mere numbers, we were the only men 
on earth."

...In the novel "Night" by Elie Wiesel, the story shows how Elie Wiesel survived the holocaust during World War 2 when he was a young boy. The story reveals physical strength, endurance, and motivation the Jews had to face in Nazi-occupied Germany. It's amazing how they had the willingness to keep on going after seeing what the Nazi's were doing to them, even if they knew that they too were going to suffer the same fate. The courage to share and endure the ordeal of what the Nazi's did to the Jews is strong. The second excerpt shows the courage and hope the Jews still had inside themselves. Even after everything they have done, they still had faith to keep on going. Moreover, this is a great example of what Hitler and his Nazi's were capable of doing to a whole race of people during World War 2. After World War 2, people around the world started to see what the Jews went through and the courage they had to keep on going. It takes a vast amount of courage to see your own people getting murdered before your eyes and knowing that there is nothing you can do to save them. That is something not everybody in the world has. As a result, it took heroic amounts of courage to go through the events that the survivors of the holocaust had to go through...
