"For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name?" I choose this quote rather than one from later in the book, because this is one of the first times in the book that Wiesel questions God's holiness and also shows how Wiesel can't see the good in life. Even though he's alive, he says he has nothing to thank God for which is a stark contrast from earlier in the book when he was a devout scholar of the Jews faith.

"What had happened to me? My father had just been struck, in front of me, and I had not even blinked. I had watched and kept silent." (page 39)
Elie's father had just been slapped when he asked the location of some toilets. Elie is surprised that he didn't do anything, that just yesterday he would have "dug [his] nails into this criminal's flesh." The pressure of the situation makes Elie stay silent for he didn't want to receive the same treatment as his father. Fear forced him into silence, as it continues to do during his time in the camp(s).

"' Where is merciful God, where is HE?' someone behind me was asking.

"Please, sir.... I'd like to be near my father. "

This quote shows a good example of Father/Son relationship. It shows Elie not wanting to be separated from his father, when being transported to a new camp. When going somewhere new he only could rely and depend on his father. Once at the camps, Elie wouldn't speak up in fear of being beaten or killed, but in this moment he kind of felt safe enough to speak and and say, he wanted to stay with his father.

¨The doors clanked shut. We had fallen into the trap, up to our necks. The doors were nailed, the way back irrevocably cut off. The world had become a hermetically sealed cattle car. ¨

"What happened to me? My father had just been struck, in front of me, and I had not even blinked. I had watched and kept silent."
This quote shows how the theme silence is exemplified and the way it shows the theme is by showing how he sat there watching one of the people that he loves most and the only person that he has left gets beaten and sat there saying and doing nothing. In the real world anyone would try and stop this or yell or do something but in the camps it is a different place and takes away the voice of others. The reason that they are silent is because no matter what someone will be suffering and it is known so there is no point in sticking up if you will just be struck and it will end in going nowhere. -Jayven Gomez

The Father-Son relationship through this book has been through a lot during the first couple of chapters. But these quotes give us a good insight into how he was going to have to survive without his mother and sister. This made the father-son relationship intensify because there was no one else to keep them safe anymore.

"Please, sir...I'd like to be near my father." (pg.50) I choose this quote because it shows the shifting dynamic in there father-son relationship, in this instance, Wiesel is speaking up for wanting to be near his father but in the same chapter he blames his father for being beaten. It just shows how there's this struggle between saving himself and pursuing a healthy relationship with his father.

"This ceremony, will it be over soon? I'm hungry..."
Juliek during a ceremony focused on the hanging of a man has become so used to the death of others around them that they are focused more on their next meal rather than the atrocities around them.

"For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank Him for?" Elie feels as if God has started to "abandon" him. This means a lot to him because of how much he really worked to get closer to God and get more into his religion. He starts to lose faith because God isn't "helping" him or "caring" for him and other people.

"At that moment in time, all that mattered to me was my daily bowl of soup, my crust of stale bread. The bread, the soup - those were my entire life." (page 52)
The dentist's office was shut down since the dentist was to be hanged for dealing prisoner's gold teeth for personal gain. Elie didn't feel pity for him and was rather glad that he was getting hanged: he could keep his gold crown. Elie thought how he could use it to buy something, maybe bread, and goes on to explain how food had priority in his life. Because of the conditions in the camps, such as starvation, Elie was most concered with food, losing morales in place of survival.

"I had watched it all happening without moving. I kept silent. In fact, I thought of stealing away in order not to suffer the blows. What's more, if I felt anger at that moment, it was not directed at the Kapo but at my father. Why couldn't he have avoided Idek's wrath? That was what life in a concentration camp had made me . . ."
This shows that his relationship with his father was changed from wanting to protect him to wondering why he couldn't have escaped wrath. He was almost accusing him of doing wrong when really no one could actually escape any wrath at the camp. - Karys Wallace

"Of course. But on one condition; I want to stay with my father." This is a father-son relationship because he does not want to leave his father. He is making sure that no matter what happens, or what is going on he is NOT leaving his father, and he has made that very clear. Elie never likes when his father goes off on his own, he was also taken away from his mother and sister, so his father is all he has left.

"For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent."

" Like the head of the camp, he liked children. Immediately after our arrival, he had bread brought for them, some soup and margarine. " in fact, this affection was not entirely altruistic; there existed here a veritable traffic of children among homosexuals. "

During this time period we learned that many children in the concentration camps would get molested. The abuse, wasn't being done by the other kids but yet the german officers and adults. This was indeed taking away their privacy further dehumanizing them and showing the act of silence. In the concentration camps, it was kind of like the survival of the fittest. If you weren't as fit or did as you were told it was like death. So in exchange for extra food and survival, the children would kind of be numb to letting the officers abuse them.

"Where is merciful God, where is He?" This is said by someone behind Elie as a young boy is hung. This shows a loss of faith because the people in the crowd of the gallows wanted mercy for this child that was being publicly hung. This further shows a loss of faith because after the quote is stated, the boy was too light and didn't die quickly showing even more loss of faith because the boy is struggling as they watched while the people wanted mercy for the boy from their God.

Loss of faith can be seen throughout the story. At the beginning of the book Elie states, "I pray to the God within me for the strength to ask him the real questions." Later in the story Elie's entire perspective is changed. After the young boy was hung the book states, "Behind me, I heard the same man asking: "For God's sake, where is God?" And from within me, I heard a voice answer: "Where He is? This is where- hanging here from this gallows.." . This shows how Elie was once a strong believer in God and now he can not see how God could be so good but let all these bad things happen.

Quote: "He began beating him with an iron bar.... I had watched it all happening without moving. I kept silent."

Claim: In the context of the situation Elie's father is being beaten by a German soldier. Elie is watching as his father is being torn down, and the only thing he can think or be motivated to do is stay silent and to keep his mouth shut. This theme of silence perseveres throughout the book and throughout Elie's time at the camp. He has been so affected by the atrocities that he is made to keep silent, and that even when his father his being beaten senselessly Elie can do nothing but stay silent.

"Fifteen, no your eighteen... But I'm not, I am fifteen"
The quote shows that you have to lie and stay silent about it if you want to survive. An inmate told Elie to say he was 18 instead of 15 because he was more likely to survive if he was older.

# data[].attributes.body
"I had watched it all happening without moving. I kept silent. In fact, I thought of stealing away in order not to suffer the blows." This shows that Elie had began to stay silent. He started to get angry at not the leaders of the camp, but at his father for not getting out of Idek's way. The silence could have been out of fear or even embarrassment, because it was his father who was getting beaten, and if he would have said anything that could have been a blow to his head also. So he had no choice but to stay out of it.

"I was not denying His existence, but I doubted His absolute justice."
The way that this quote fits the theme of loss of faith is because it is showing of how before he was transported to the camps to now that it has changed the way he thought as he says it cause him to doubt his absolute justice. Even thought he doesn't completely lose his faith it still shows that it is slowly but surely being lost. -Jayven Gomez

"First edict: Jews were prohibited from leaving their residences for three day under penalty of death"
A normal activity such as leaving your house was banned or you were killed. Second natural was banned or you where killed.

"I had watched it all happening without moving. I kept silent." (pg.54) This quote takes place while Wiesel's father is being beaten with an iron bar. I choose this quote because it shows that even after Wiesel had just spoken up to work near his father, the theme of silence was still there. It even went on to say that Wiesel was angry at his father for making the guard angry. So it really goes to show how fear and self-preservation overcame Wiesel and the shift in thinking that was happening in that silence.

In this book, there are various occasions when they are not treated like human beings. But, the fact that in the first couple of chapters they are literally and physically being treated like caged animals. They are being transported in cage carts, hardly eating, having to use the bathroom in front of eighty people, and many more things. The dehumanization started very early in the book and continued to get worse and worse as the book goes on.

In this quote, we see how Elie's view of his father changes. He had wanted to always be near his father and surely cared for him, but seeing his father get beaten didn't make Elie mad at the Kapo nor does it strike sympathy for his father; instead, Elie is mad at his father for not avoiding Idek's wrath. Self-preservation and familial-preservation fight for top priority in Elie and is seen throughout the book.

"If only I could answer him, if only I could tell him that I could not move. But my mouth would not open."
Both of these types of silence are displayed. The first one is silence from the world because no one would speak up for the "insignificant races" of the world that were being sent the these concentration camps. The second one represents forced silence by the Kapo because Elie had just been beaten so badly that he could not speak. He was physically unable to form words. - Karys Wallace

"' Stand up!' he was yelling even more loudly.

" the most important thing is not being assigned to the construction Kommando"
As if we had a choice ......

The last phrase the author used stating, "As if we had a choice" shows the act of dehumanization. As we live in everyday life, we have the joy of knowing that we are able to make our own choices and have freedom. Through this book the author showed the many ways that the Jewish inmates didn't have a choice in what they partook in. Whether that included clothing, housing, fooding, or the type of jobs they were given. In the concentration camps, you didn't have a choice. It was either, do what you get told or get killed. Simple.

I believe this quote fits the description of dehumanization because they were allowed to hold any value to their names. This meant they couldn't have any jewelry even if they enjoyed it .

"I became A-7713. From then on, I had no other name." This shows dehumanization because instead of calling them by there name they were addressed as numbers. This also showed that they weren't getting treated like humans. Almost like marked cattle getting sold.

"Please sir, I'd like to be near my father"
This was the first time that Elie spoke up to an authority figure and it was all to insure he stayed near his father. He put his fear behind him in order to ensure that they stayed together.

Page 7- " Moishe was not the same. The joy in his eyes was gone. He no longer sang. He no longer mentioned either God or Kabbalah. He only spoke of what he had seen. "

Moishe went from one very religiously present man who would learn more and discuss it every day with Elie, to a man who would not even talk about his faith. He would only discuss what would happen to them in they were rounded up and transported. No one believed him either which made him lose even more faith not only in religious terms, but also with the people in his town.

Quote: "For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name?"

Claim: This is the first time in the book we see Elie's faith start to fade. At this point he is being introduced to the horrors of the concentration camp. Elie is left wondering why he should praise or sanctify God, because how could his God let these things happen to both him and His people.

"Of course. But on one condition: I want to stay with my father."

Elie is being asked if he wants to get into a Kommando but asks if his father can come along. He doesn't wanna get separated from his father which he feels safe around. - Rosie Thao

"I had watched it all happening without moving. I kept silent. In fact, I thought of stealing away in order not to suffer the blows"
This shows the theme of silence because as Elie stands there and watches his dad be beaten by an iron bar he can do nothing but sit and watch so he does not get himself into trouble as well

¨If only I could answer him, if only I could tell him that I could not move. But my mouth would not open.¨
This quote resembles silence in a way that Elie was forced into silence. During this scene, Elie had just gotten beaten and was lying on the ground unable to move. Idek was yelling at him to stand up but it seemed like he was stuck to the floor. He had no choice but to lay there in silence watching Idek yell at him. - Blake Raffield

"Why should I sanctify his name His name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank Him for?" This shows where Elie starts to questioned his faith. As well as he is starting to loss faith for God.

"If anyone goes missing, you will all be shot, like dogs."
This quote supports dehumanization because, this is when the Jews were in the cattle cars, and were being threatened and treated like animals. He said they would be shot if they escaped, like dogs.

"I was leaving my mother and Tzipora forever. I Kept walking, holding my fathers hand." This shows father son relationships because he had to leave his mom and may never see her again. In the camp Elie was and his father was split up in different kapos, but they were still able to connect even though they were split up

¨I stood petrified.What had happened to me?My father had been struck in front of me, and i had not even blinked.¨This quote shows silence because his father was hit and he didn't even dare to speak up because he felt as if he was in a threat and didn't want the same thing to happen.

"This ceremony, will it be over soon? I'm hungry..." (pg.62) I choose this quote rather than quotes from earlier in the book because it really places emphasis on the effects that constantly being exposed to dehumanization had on them. In the ceremony they were attending a child was being hanged and they were more concerned with being fed, it really shows how this constant exposure (even with the crematoria) to inhumanity desensitized them and caused them to be more focused on primal urges.

"Please...sir I'd like to be near my father" This shows father-son relationship because he asks the foreman Franek to give Elie a job where he could work next to his father. This further shows father-son relation because it shows how much Elie wanted to stay near his father.

"Why should I sanctify His name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank Him for?" (page 33)
People had begun reciting Kaddish during selection, and Elie questions God, angry at him - for allowing people to walk to their death, for not stopping such crimes against humanity. Elie had a strong basis in faith, studying Kabbalah, but witnessing harsh cruelty causes him to lose faith.

"As if we had a choice . . ."
This shows dehumanization because it is saying they aren't given any choices of what they wanted to do. The police/Kapo took away their rights of choice because they thought that they were insignificant and didn't deserve a choice because they "weren't human" - Karys Wallace

"Please sir... I'd like to be near my father"
This shows that despite everything him and his father has been through he still wants to be near him. Showing that him and his dad still have maintained their relationship despite the odds. - Alexis Streetman

"if anyone goes missing, you will be shot like a dog"
This quote shows inhumanity because they are not being seen as humans anymore. They are being seen as animals, and there is no feelings connected to what they are doing.

This quote shows the theme of dehumanization because Juliek has lost the sensitivity to seeing a man being hung. Rather, he is thinking about food like cattle do.

"I stood petrified. What happened to me? My father had just been struck, in front of me, and I had not even blinked. I had watched and kept silent."

Elie watches in fear as his father is slapped across the face, but chooses to be silent instead of sticking up for his father because he is paralyzed by the fear of something happening to him as well. - Rosie Thao

"not fifty. You're forty. Do you hear? Eighteen and forty." on page 30. This dehumanizes Elie and his father because the man tells them to lie about their age, age is something that defines us as people and they had to change it.

"I no longer felt anything except the lashes of the whip."
The reason that I picked this quote is because I feel that it shows how Ellie was  beat and not only physically but was mentally being damaged. This shows how a multitude of different Jewish people were treated in these camps. - Jayven Gomez

"Why should I sanctify his name? The almighty, the eternal and terrible master of the universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank him for?"
This is a clear example of Eli becoming angry at his god. Since he's not helping them as they're being lead to what they think are their deaths. This is the first time he's become angry at god which shows that he's slowly turning away from god. - Alexis Streetman.

"Please, sir... I'd like to work with my father."  This shows that the relationship between Elie and his father was unbreakable i'd say. I say this only because it takes a lot to speak up to the leaders at the camp, he could have been killed just for requesting it. Franek kept him with his father out of luck. I feel like Franek made the right choice, he needed to be with his father because at the age of fifteen, he had lost his mother and sisters forever.
