"My father's presence was the only thing that stopped me... I had no right to let myself die. What would he do without me (Wiesel, 86-87).

This quotation represents a loss of innocence because Eliezer's father is in need of him but he is at the age where the parents are supposed to support him.

"I saw many kids your age go with their mothers" (Wiesel 33).

This piece of evidence shows a loss of innocence because Eliezer was a young boy who went along to the men's side.  If Eliezer had gone with his mom he would have died because he wouldn't be able to help with the work.

"Never shall I forget that night, the first camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed." (Wiesel, 37).

This quotation represents a loss of innocence because Eliezer could not have a regular life as a kid.  The holocaust forced him to grow up faster and lose his innocence as a kid.

"And so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering between life and death, writhing before our eyes" (Wiesel 65).

This quotation represents a loss of innocence because Eliezer was a 13-year-old boy who had witnessed the torture of a baby. A memory like this shouldn't appear in anybody's mind especially if its a young child like Eliezer himself.

"When they withdrew there were two dead bodies next to me, the father and the son I was sixteen" (Wiesel 102).

This quotation represents a loss of innocence because Eliezer just witnessed people fight over crumbs of bread. When the fight settles he sees a father and son who died because they were fighting for a small portion of food.

"Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transform into smoke under a silent sky" (Wiesel 34).

This shows a loss of innocence because a human is watching babies being burned in a fire while the Germans are watching and laughing.

"Why are you so mean to me, my son? . . . Water . . ." (Wiesel 111).

This is a loss of innocence because Eliezer's father is being provided for while Eliezer is in need of his parents. The father is trying to help Eliezer but is not able to because he is dying.

"My father's presence was the only thing that stopped me... I had no right to let myself die. What would he do without me? (Wiesel, 86-87).

In this piece of evidence, Eliezer is playing the role of the parent because his father is weak and broken from all the forced labor. He has to grow up in an adult manner therefore, he lost his childhood due to the Holocaust.

"I saw many kids your age go with their mothers" (Wiesel 33).

This shows a loss of innocence because Eliezer is losing his mom to stay alive.  He was told an age so that he would be allowed to work with the men. Taking a step like this requires a very developed mindset which Eliezer posseses.
