part 1:
(10 sentences) Elie is a deeply religious boy whose favorite activities are studying the Talmud and spending time at the Temple with his spiritual mentor, Moshe the Beadle. At an early age, Elie has a naïve, yet strong faith in God.
•However, it is difficult to have faith in God when one is constantly surrounded by death and inhumanity.
•In chapter 3, As Eliezer approaches the fiery pit, he feels anger towards a God who allows Nazi inhumanity to exist in this world: "For the first time, I felt revolt rise up in me. Why should I bless His name? The Eternal, Lord of the Universe, the All-Powerful and Terrible, was silent. What had I to thank Him for?" p. 42
•Although the only way to survive the concentration camps is to have faith that God will see you through, it is nearly impossible to believe in a God who allows concentration camps to exist in the first place.
•What other examples from chapter 3 can you add to display his revolt for God and his faith?
•Tell me an experience where your faith has help you go through a hard time or questioned your belief?

ch 1 questions and theme

PART 1:
As you read you will find that Death-- A theme which was used throughout the book. It was shown through the loss of loved ones.
In chapter 1, the topic of death seems to be reoccurring in the story.

Elie identifies the German soldiers by their steel helmets with the emblem, the death's head. It is the first impression Elie has of the German soldiers.
The Jews are not allowed to leave their houses for three days-on pain of death. The term, "on pain of death" is used several times in the narrative to emphasize the harsh reality of the German's threats.
As the Jews are forced to wear the yellow star, Elie's father replies, "'The yellow star? Oh well, what of it? You don't die of it....'" Elie responds, "Poor Father! Of what then did you die?" The yellow star symbolizes the mark of distinction that sends many Jews to their deaths. In retrospect, Wiesel feels that his father and the Jews of Sighet conceded to their deaths by submitting to every German decree. With each submission, they die a bit more.
As the ghettos are emptied by the deportation of the Jews, rooms that were once bustling with activity, lay open with the people's belongings still remaining. It is like an "open tomb" in that there is no longer any sign of life.

Before you READ NIGHT

What is the Holocaust?
The Holocaust was the systematic annihilation of six million Jews by the Nazi regime during World War 2. In 1933 approximately nine million Jews lived in the 21 countries of Europe that would be occupied by Germany during the war. By 1945 two out of every three European Jews had been killed. The European Jews were the primary victims of the Holocaust.
But Jews were not the only group singled out for persecution by Hitler�s Nazi regime. As many as one-half million Gypsies, at least 250,000 mentally or physically disabled persons, and more than three million Soviet prisoners-of-war also fell victim to Nazi genocide. Jehovah�s Witnesses, homosexuals, Social Democrats, Communists, partisans, trade unionists, Polish intelligentsia and other undesirables were also victims of the hate and aggression carried out by the Nazis.
Before we read, Look through the photos. tell me what you see, what you know, how you feel about them, and any questions you have in regards to this event.

definition

The Holocaust (from the Greek ὁλόκαυστον (holókauston): holos, "whole" and kaustos, "burnt"), also known as Shoah (Hebrew: השואה, Latinized ha'shoah; Yiddish: חורבן, Latinized churben or hurban[1]) is the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, a program of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany, under Adolf Hitler, its allies, and collaborators.[2] Some scholars maintain that the definition of the Holocaust should also include the Nazis' systematic murder of millions of people in other groups, including ethnic Poles, the Romani, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, people with disabilities, gay men, and political and religious opponents.[3] By this definition, the total number of Holocaust victims is between 11 million and 17 million people.[4]

The persecution and genocide were carried out in stages. Legislation to remove the Jews from civil society was enacted years before the outbreak of World War II. Concentration camps were established in which inmates were used as slave labor until they died of exhaustion or disease. Where the Third Reich conquered new territory in eastern Europe, specialized units called Einsatzgruppen murdered Jews and political opponents in mass shootings. Jews and Romani were crammed into ghettos before being transported by freight train to extermination camps where, if they survived the journey, the majority of them were killed in gas chambers. Every arm of Nazi Germany's bureaucracy was involved in the logistics of the mass murder, turning the country into what one Holocaust scholar has called "a genocidal state".

new book for english

Hitler's hatred of the Jews caused much suffering, death, and one of the worst mass killings in history. This time in which nearly six million Jews were killed became known as the Holocaust. Hitler and his followers, who were called Nazis, were the leaders of this ultimate genocide of the
Jews. Hitler was a very evil man. His hatred of the Jews was so harsh that it ultimately led to the mass killing of the Jews. Anti-Semitism was Hitler's key background for his hatred of the Jews. Anti-Semitism is defined by Webster as "the discrimination or harsh prosecution of the Jews." Hitler believed that the world was a struggle between the superior race and the inferior races. The superior race supposedly included people that had blond hair, blue eyes, and were strong. Hitler called this race the "Aryans". The inferior race included all people that did not have the characteristics of the "Aryans." Among these were the Jews, Jehovah's witnesses, and Gypsies, which the Germans called "the undesirables". Hitler strongly believed that the "Aryan" race should win this battle between the races. He wrote all of his thoughts about the hatred of the Jews in a book, which he entitled Mein Kampf. This is why the Holocaust began.

To begin his ultimate genocide of the Jews, Hitler decided to "resettle" the Jews. This began in 1941. The first place that was to be "cleansed" of Jews was what was the General Government, also called Poland. To separate them from society, he moved them into tightly cramped ghettos and slums. The living conditions were so bad that this alone killed many of the Jews. After the Jews were inside the Ghettos, Hitler's advisors and leaders of the Nazis picked out the healthy Jews and sent them to what we now know as Concentration Camps. The Concentration Camps were places where Jews were sent to work long, hard hours with little or no pay to provide for the Nazis. In these Concentration Camps, living conditions were very bad. There was little food or water. This is how Hitler began his resettlement of the Jews.
