The First Night- Joshua Flores per.4

This blog is about the events that take place during the first section of the autobiography "Night" by Elie Weisel. The section takes place in Sighet, Yugoslavia(a small Jewish community in 1941 during WW2 and and is focused on the protagonist Elie. In the beginning, we learn about Moische the Beadle, who is what you might say a caretaker for the Jewish synagogue and is very awkward and shy. Moische and Elie become very close and mainly discuss the Kabbalah. Then on one day the Hungarian police come with orders to take all foreign Jews. As it so happens, Moische the Beadle is a foreigner and is taken by the police, along with every other foreigner, on freight trains. The rest of the community wept everyone that left, but after several months everything returns to normal. Elie is very shocked to Moshe in the church after what happened. Elie is curious about what happened and Moshe tells him the horrifying details. He tells him how they took them to the woods outside the and were forced by the Nazis to dig ditches. Then they started shooting and killing everyone. Moische was only shot in the leg and was able to survive. When Moische starts telling everyone what happened, they don't believe a word he says and thought he wanted pitty or gone mad. Then, later on the Germans come overtake the place, but are very polite and nice to everyone. Unexpectedly, the Germans hold a council meeting and have plans to transport everyone. Everyone is forced by the Germans to move walk to the freight trains, screaming at them and pushing them with their rifles. Finally, they begin to leave to their destination.

Jews in a cattle cars

There was not enough space for me and my father to sit comfortably. There was really no space for anyone. We were all crammed into a car that was suppose to be used for animals, for who-knows-how-many-days! After two nights I thought it could not get any worse, but on the third day i heard a shrieking cry. "Fire! I see fire! I see fire!"(25) The message that she screamed alone frightened me. People kept trying to calm her down but her cries wouldn't stop. They even tried beating her to stop her cries. She yelled fire 3 times before we arrived to some place named Auschwitz. I've never heard that name before. In fact it terrified me. I didn't know where we were or what was to come out of this whole situation. A piercing shriek broke into my thoughts.  “Look at the fire! Look at the flames! Over there!''(26) For the last time we all looked expecting to see nothing. Flames were at a distance and there was an atrocious smell infecting the air. We were ordered off the car like an enslaved animal. Where are we going? Why are we here? What's going to happen?

Jewish woman yelling

   The world is black and white. So many people are around me yet I can't help but feel so alone. I don't like being without my husband and children. I'm left with only one, my ten year old son. Everyone looks at me as if I'm crazy. No one would ever understand because I am the only one who's family was torn. I don't know whether I've lost my mind or if this is a message I simply can't understand. All around me I see flames...

The Consuming Fire...Damien Munguia, Ricardo

After days of travel on the hermetical cattle cars, many intolerabilities arose arose. Lying down was not an option, not everyone could sit down, everyone had extreme thirst, and the rising heat didn't exactly help. The kids even resorted to caressing each other at night when they thought no one was looking. Everyone else just pretended not to notice. There was food, but not enough for everyone to eat until they were hungry, and what happens if the following day is worse? The train stopped in Hungary, where German officers collected whatever gold, silver, and valuables they had left. Later a woman named Ms. Schåchter, whom had been taken away from her family, began to scream about fire. At first everyone panicked, looking for the fire. When no one saw a fire, they calmed themselves by telling themselves by saying she was dillusional. She continued to scream about fire and when it became intolerable, men bound and gagged her.    A few hours later, she had broken free and began screaming again, waking everyone up. This caused her to recieve several blows to the head. The following day she was just silent. All of a sudden she started screaming again, no one had the energy to silence her, then they stopped at their destination. Auschwitz.  In exchange for a gold watch, the jews learned that it was a labor camp and that families would stay together. After this information was recieved the jews were delighted. Ms. Schåchter began screaming again. This time they did see fire. From a tall chimney they saw smoke with the smell of burning flesh. Camp labored rushed in beating the Jews with sticks. They told the Jews to leave their possessions and get out of the car. They were now in Auschwitz...

Is sad to know that people are treated in an inhumane manner just

by being part of a different culture like Jews were treated by the Germans in the World War 2.

The year is 1941 and Elie Wiesel, the narrator of the story, is twelve years old. The Wiesel family consists of Elie's father, Chlomo, a shopkeeper and well-respected Jewish community leader, Elie's mother, his two older sisters, Hilda and Bea, and youngest sister, Tzipora. They live in the town of Sighet in Transylvania (on the border of Hungary and Romania). Elie is a studious, deeply religious boy who enjoys studying the Talmud (Jewish religious text) by day and praying in the temple at night

.  

 More than a year passes and the Jews of Sighet are confident that the war will soon be over. However, bad news arrives: Fascists take power in Hungary and there are frequent incidents of anti-Semitism. Before long, German troops appear in the streets of Sighet. Elie identifies the soldiers by the emblem on their helmets, the death's head. At first, the Jews of Sighet take kindly to the German soldiers who seem distant, but polite. However, on the seventh day of Passover, the Germans arrest the leaders of the Jewish community. Moshe the Beadle warns Elie's father one last time, then disappears. Things happen very quickly afterwards: the Germans issue a decree preventing the Jews from leaving their homes (on pain of death); then a decree goes out that all Jews must wear the yellow star. Elie's father's responds, "'The yellow star? Oh well, what of it? You don't die of it....'" Chapter 1, pg. 9 Soon after, two ghettos are set up-a large one in the center of town and a smaller one. Even in the ghettos, the Jews remain naively optimistic that things will not get any worse. However, night falls. All  Jews are to be deported.

 Hitler was the main character of the world war 2. By his orders millions of people were killed and treated in an inhumane manner and in my point of view is something that everybody has to think about it because we cannot allow that people continue treat to others only because they have either different thoughts  or a different culture. We should make sure that everybody even in the entire world is treat equal with the same rights.
