Dehumanization by Judith Elorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz Made with good vibes en-us 2017-10-10 13:30:18 UTC 2023-06-10 16:37:47 UTC hello@padlet.com The prisoners were getting numbers tatood in replace of their names, they now became numbers and not people, “I became A-7713. From then on, I had no other name" (Wiesel 42). judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/195587888 When Eliezer got to the concentration camp they had assigned him a number in replace of his name. Eliezer became a number and no longer had a name. A name is given to a person as a human quality, it's how you identify yourself as. Therefore, taking away Eliezer's name and making it a meaningless number stripped him of his identity.

Wiesel did not feel the pain that people living normal lives outside the camps would have felt. This shows how done Wiesel was with his life. ]]> 2017-10-10 23:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/195842231 The soldiers were getting rid of people, "Without passion or haste, they shot their prisoners, who were forced to approach the trench one by one and offer their necks. Infants were tossed into the air and used as targets for the machine guns"(Wiesel 63). judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/195844052 The officers kill the prisoners with no hesitation at all like they are not even people. Killing prisoners that they just forced to dig the trench, and even shooting babies. These innocent people had a whole life ahead of them, but the prisoners did not even see them as people.]]> 2017-10-11 00:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/195844052 The prisoners are in a car being transferred to a camp when an officer says, "There are eighty of you in the car," the German officer added. "If anyone goes missing, you will all be shot, like dogs" (Wiesel 24). judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/195858539 The prisoners are compared to and treated like dogs. ]]> 2017-10-11 02:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/195858539 Wiesel was glad he hadn't gotten his crown removed but was very hungry, "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"(Wiesel 52). judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/195859007 Elie no longer cares about other things than food and surviving. The "food" he was given was just a stale bread and soup, that's how hungry he was to be happy to get whatever at this point.]]> 2017-10-11 02:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/195859007 Selection was being done in the camps and Wiesel was watching and describing how people looked, "I never saw a single victim weep.These withered bodies had long forgotten the bitter taste of tears" (Wiesel 63). judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/195859294 People have been so mentally and physically damaged by everything they have been through that they forgot how to feel any kind of sadness. People had been so used to seeing all this that no kind of emotion struck them, regardless who was being hung. They lacked emotion. ]]> 2017-10-11 02:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/195859294 The prisoners were forced to run for miles to their next camp, weak and hungry. "The race seemed endless; I felt as though I had been running for years.. You are too skinny, you are too weak... At last I arrived" (Wiesel72). elischlegel https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/196788929 It is not physically/humanly possible to run many miles when all someone is being fed is soup and hard bread. The soldiers don't even see them as humans at this point, making them run for miles without a break. It takes practice for someone to run for so long, practice that these poor people don't have. ]]> 2017-10-13 13:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/196788929 Wiesel's father had gotten a colic attack and was in need to go to the bathroom, he asked the gypsy, "He got up and asked politely, in German, 'Excuse me...Could you tell me where the toilets are located?' Then, as if waking from a deep sleep, he slapped my father with such force that he fell down and then crawled back to his place on all fours"(Wiesel 39). judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/196793492 All Wiesel's father wanted was to go to the bathroom and he got slapped just for asking. This shows dehumanization because they aren't even granted to go to the bathroom? A human need is not granted because they are not considered human at this point. ]]> 2017-10-13 13:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/196793492 Dehumanization Today elischlegel https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/196796671 In this example, it shows how girls around the world are denied an education. This shows dehumanization because the girls are being stripped of their opportunity to learn and get an education to improve their life. http://www.bbc.com/news/education-33424525]]> 2017-10-13 13:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/196796671 Citations-pictures judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/196801185 Anderson , Jordan. “How Bullying Has Inspired Me .” 25 Sept. 2016, www.theodysseyonline.com/bullying-experience.

The women in Syria get treated very poorly, they don't have rights and it is unfair. This shows Dehumanization because the women in Syria have no rights what so ever, that means they cant speak up, or voice their opinions like any human should. judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/196804536 2017-10-13 13:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/196804536 Dehumanization Today elischlegel https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/196994464 In this example, it shows how children (mainly in grades 6-8) are bullied. Bullying takes away the victims self esteem and happiness and makes them feel less worthy, and maybe even not human.

Most gay people don't get treated equally, people see them as not ordinary humans. Therefore, are considered "less human" for contradicting what is considered normal to society. judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/197062049 2017-10-14 21:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/197062049 How Wiesel faces dehumanization judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/197074230 2017-10-15 02:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/197074230 How Wiesel's father faces dehumanization judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/197074248 2017-10-15 02:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/197074248 Technology distracts people from being in the moment. It could be during dinner, driving, walking to a place, even while being face to face with someone. Technology has turned humans into robots, people don't even communicate face to face anymore everything is now said to a screen. This dehumanizes people becuase no one communicates with emotion and people aren't even talking to one another. judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/197075123 2017-10-15 03:02:31 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/197075123 The recent activity of police brutality has been seen as dehumanization. The reason being, police are hurting people who show no threat but are getting mistreated for being black. These people have done nothing, and are being treated as animals they've been taken away their human rights. judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/197075755 2017-10-15 03:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/197075755 Wiesel's father had been very sick and When Wiesel woke up his father wasn't there,"They must have taken him away before day-break and taken him to the crematorium. Perhaps he was stillbreathing...." (Wiesel 112). judelorza https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/197078281 Wiesel's father was taken to the crematorium and was basically burned alive. Wiesel's father had been very sick and got no treatment because he wasn't considered a human with a sickness, he was considered a hindrance. ]]> 2017-10-15 04:33:45 UTC https://padlet.com/judelorza/ocpix7j0klwz/wish/197078281
