Silence and having a voice is a recurring motif throughout the chapter and book. It is used to represent the perseverance of people, "I could just hear his voice, the only indication he was alive. Where did he get the strength to speak?" (Wiesel 78). Though the Jewish people have been through so much, even the weakest people hold on to hope, they still have a voice to continue expressing their views.

"I went up to him, took his hand and kissed it. I felt a tear on my hand. Whose was it? Mine? His? I said nothing. Nor did he. Never before had we understood each other so clearly" (Wiesel 69).

In chapter 5, the forced labor (or the harsh treatment in general) that the Jewish prisoners are subjected to can symbolize their loss of faith.
DQ: “Why, but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled. Because He caused thousands of children to burn in His mass graves? Because He kept six crematoria working day and night, including Sabbath and the Holy Days? Because in His great might, He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death?" (Wiesel 67).

In Chapter 5, the motif of the bell represented the beginning and end of the oppression that the Jews faced while in the camps. Whenever the bell would be rung, the Jews knew to either go to work and face the unjust treatment or it was time to go to bed and be rid of the cruelty they faced during the day even if it was only for just a little while. "The sound of the bell brought us back to reality. We had to go to bed."(Wiesel69).

The spoon and knife
Elie's father gave him a spoon and a knife and that symbolized inheritance because he thought that he was going to die. At the same time, for Elie it was a symbol of hope that he was going to see his father again.

When they got separated, having the spoon and knife helped him stay calm because  he knew when they were done, he could give them back to him.
