After reading the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, it makes me feel much different about what the holocaust was really like. I think the holocaust was an awful situation to go through just because Hitler didn’t like your religion or the way he examines you. I think it was terrible that it split up families to where they never saw each other again; they killed people and made them work very hard to sometimes earn a small bowl of soup or bread. The thought of getting killed or even seeing someone being killed in front of your own eyes is devastating. The events that impact me the most are Eliezer and his father splitting from his mother and sisters, the SS officers throwing them on buses or making them run to places they don't know, and having health …show more content…
That would be very hard and I would be impatience about not knowing where my next meal would could from or where I would be going. Sometimes they would make them run very far distances to their next stop. In one situation they ran for about four hours nonstop to their next place. If they were to stop they would get trample or the SS officers killed them. Most people can’t run that long without stopping so that made me think about how awful that is to do that to someone.
The last that impacts me the most is the SS officers having health checks and having the selection. If the jews or other people weren't healthy and able to work right off the bat got a trip to the crematory. Another thing they did was called a selection. If they couldn't pass the selection they were sent to the crematory. That made me also feel upset for the those people who were already sick and didn't have good health because they didn't even have a chance at living.
Based on this memoir Night, i have discovered that the holocaust was no joke and the jews and others were treated terribly wrong. I am glad that the holocaust came to an end and freed the people that got through it. I hope that nothing like this ever occurs

a movie about the Holocaust so we could actually picture what happened. As a 7th grader I thought that taking their clothes and tattooing numbers on their arms was the worse thing that could happen until we read Night this year. I learned so much about the Holocaust just by reading Night. I never knew that the SS officers would transport them from different camps and would separate the weak from the strong. I also found it interesting but cruel that they would make them run 42 miles while dragging…
