The_Never_Ending_Night

The Never Ending Night In the autobiographical novel Night by Elie Wiesel, the young teenager Elie underwent the transformation from a boy who had faith and honored his God to a man who no longer believed in that God. Elie was a Jewish boy who lived in a small Hungarian town called Sighet, during World War II. When Elie was fifteen, Germans invaded Hungary and sent all his friends and family to concentration camps. During this devastating time in his life, Elie saw a great deal of inhuman deeds done to the Jews by the Germans and he started to lose faith in God. By the time he was finally liberated, he was starved, lost most of his family, and lost all faith in the Jewish God. There are many examples in the beginning of Night where people are trying to keep and strengthen their faith but there are many more examples of people rebelling against God and forgetting their religion. The first example of Elie loosing his faith is when he arrived at Auschwitz. Elie and his father are directed to go to the left. A prisoner then informs them that they are on their way to the crematory.
