Day Of Horror - Jennifer Rodriguez 2

this shows the hangings of the men and boy 

toruting a jewish prisoner.

religous belief

As the crowd weeps , death appears ,beliefs fade .As Elie views the hangs of three prisoners and of a young weak boy .The boy manages to take a few minutes to live before he dies and is left hanging. Elies voice stays silent , as the rest do , but his religous faith fades , he yet hears men pray for god. The feeling he gets when his belief fades appears again , the first when he see's his father being beaten by the gypsy overseer.Elie stands and watches his father gain pain . His faith fades from god and as well as for his father . Seeing the poor , weak biy just hang , bones showing , tongue still red, just hanging for a while till he can't last .The emotions were undescribeable , watching a young boy die in front of everyone in the concentration camp .I think through out the story , Elie changes the way of seeing things in life .In the beginning , he believed in god , and as time passes by , the believe in god fades .The things he thought of first in life before living in the camps , they change .

Night section 3- Kevin Ornelas-2

In section 3 Elie and his father were separated from the rest of their family. The officers command them all to form ranks of five men on the left and women on the right. After they make ranks of five an inmate interrogates Elie and his father and tells them what to say when Dr. Mengele interrogated them. Elie tells him that he is an 18-year-old farmer that is in good health. By then they were already separated from the rest of their family. An inmate who had scared them told them that they would be heading toward the crematorium. They started to prey in a different language. As they were getting closer they were getting more frightened. But luckily they were herded into the barracks. In the barracks inmates had ordered them to strip down naked. Then they were sent to the barber who shaved them bald. They all had to sleep naked in the cold that night. They were forced to run to some other barracks were they were disinfected and had taken hot showers quickly. They were thrown shirts pants and jackets. Elie had been so scared that he had lost track of how long they were there. They had found out a while later that they were in the Auschwitz concentration camp. They were served very nasty soup and when his father had a colic attack and asked directions to the wash room he was hit and crawled back to his spot, with Elie slowly losing hope and his faith in god….

Is something sad have to be separated of your family when you-are in one situation that you do not even know what is going to happen to them or what the people that separates them of you could do to your love ones

                    

At Birkenau, the men and women are separated. In hindsight, Elie realizes that this was the last time he saw his mother and sister alive. One of the prisoners warns him to say he is eighteen, though he is in fact fourteen, and his father is to say he is forty instead of fifty. Another man comes to them and asks what they are doing here. At Auschwitz they are going to be thrown into the furnaces, he tells them. Some of the new prisoners contemplate attacking the guards, and an old man tells everyone that they must never lose faith. Elie got a number because they were named just by number no by their manes anymore. He always asked to be with his dad at all times. There was a time when he saw his dad in a situation where they were making suffering to his dad and he could not do something about it . It is a frustrating situation see to your love ones suffering and cxan not do something for them because you can be in the same situation like them.                

                                      

Why people take advantage of others only because they have more power than them or are in a position where they feel having the right of make others suffering.

Chapter 3 Summary-Ruby Umana-Period 3

 

As soon as they get off the train, the men and women are separated. An SS officer cries, “Men to the left! Women to the right!”(27) Elie parts from his mother and sisters. As the new arrivals enter the camp, a veteran prisoner advises Elie and his father to lie about their ages so they could be together. Another prisoner points to the chimney and warns them that it is the place of their graves. He says, "'Do you see that chimney over there? See it? Do you see those flames? Over there that's where you're going to be taken. That's your grave, over there”(28).

 Dr. Mengele an SS officer with a conductor's baton in his hand, separates the men according to who can work and who cannot. Elie and his father remain together. As the new prisoners march toward the barracks, they witness babies being thrown into a ditch filled with flames. The Jews cannot believe their eyes, it is like a nightmare. They begin to recite the Kaddish a Jewish prayer for the dead. For the first time, As he is near the flames of the ditch, Elie thinks about jumping to his death. But at the last moment, he chooses to live. Two steps from the pit, they are ordered to turn left. That first night in camp is forever etched into the memory of Elie Wiesel."Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed....Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never"(32). This shows that Elie will never forget what he has seen.

The new arrivals are taken to the showers, shaven at the barber, and given work clothes. As the Jews assemble into crowds, some are joyful at being alive, others cry. Elie notices that both he and his father have changed during the grueling process of being turned into prisoners of camp. Elie feels that the child in him has died; he is no longer the young boy he once was.”The night was gone. The morning star was shining in the sky. I too had become a completely different person. The student of the Talmud, the child that I was, had been consumed in the flames. There remained only a shape that looked like me. A dark flame had entered into my soul and devoured it" (34).

An SS officer, with an "odor of the Angel of Death," tells the prisoners that they are at Auschwitz and that they should remember this forever. He warns the prisoners that anyone who cannot work will be sent to the crematory. As Elie and his father enter their barracks, the gypsy in charge strikes Elie's father for asking about the lavatories. Elie knows that he has changed. The prisoners are assigned to their respective blocks. The general tells the prisoners that the war will soon be over. Still the spoiled child, Elie refuses his soup even though he's hungry. His father eats Elie's portion. After the meal, the prisoners are engraved with their prison identification numbers. Elie becomes A-7713. After a few days, the prisoners accustom themselves to the daily routine of roll call, meals, and work. By the third day, Elie eats whatever is provided. On the eighth day, Elie and his father come across a relative of theirs. He asks them about the whereabouts of his wife and children. Although Elie does not know, he lies and says that he has heard news about them. Stein weeps with joy. He continues to visit, bringing with him extra rations of bread for Elie. One day, a transport from Antwerp arrives and Stein finds out the truth about his family. Elie does not hear from him again.In the evenings, the Jews spend time talking about the mysteries of God Akiba Drumer a religious man with a deep, solemn voice, sings Hasidic melodies. Elie, however, ceases to pray. He sympathizes with Job when he says, "I did not deny God's existence, but I doubted His absolute justice"(42). During these conversations, Elie wonders about his mother and sisters. Elie's father reassures him by saying that they are probably doing well. Elie finds this difficult to believe. The prisoners stay in Auschwitz for three weeks; after which they are relocated to a new work camp Buna.
