One day Moshe was taken away and witnessed the horrors that were to come. Elie's town were turned into the ghettos when the Germans arrived. He is now being transported to someplace on a cattle car. ]]> 2019-02-01 03:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ht175821/vcg0uyhy2dj5/wish/326557971 ht175821 https://padlet.com/ht175821/vcg0uyhy2dj5/wish/326914206 In his journey in the cattle car the conditions were tight, hot, and very unsanitary. Of his three night stay, a women named Madame Schachter is mentally broken and wails all three days on the train. She claims to see great fires but they are not really there. On the third day on the train they finally arrived at the auschwitz and are relieved. they go on quickly to birkenau. They now see great fires fueld by dead bodies. ]]> 2019-02-02 02:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ht175821/vcg0uyhy2dj5/wish/326914206 ht175821 https://padlet.com/ht175821/vcg0uyhy2dj5/wish/328042595 They are separated into two groups. Men and women. They are later asked their age. If they were too young or too old they were sent to be killed. They witnessed babies being dumped into a pit to burn. Elie started to doubt his god and religion. They were sent to barracks where they were striped and shaved. They were later branded with a number which was to be their name. People in their barrak told them to keep faith and not to be rash and revolt. There was still hope. ]]> 2019-02-05 22:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ht175821/vcg0uyhy2dj5/wish/328042595 ht175821 https://padlet.com/ht175821/vcg0uyhy2dj5/wish/331626815 In Elie's experience throughout the concentration camp, he loses connection with his god and religion. When he witnesses the death of a child he completely losses hope in hope. When his inmate  asks "Where is God?"(wiesel 35),he answers by saying that "He is hanging here on this + gallows."(wiesel 35) This shows that he doesn't believe. The previous execution, "he found the soup excellent,"(wiesel 35) due to hope, but when he saw the child being hung "the soup tasted of corpses."(wiesel 35) ]]> 2019-02-15 06:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ht175821/vcg0uyhy2dj5/wish/331626815 ht175821 https://padlet.com/ht175821/vcg0uyhy2dj5/wish/331865105 Elie has lost total hope of his god and religion. He despises and doubts the ability and authority of his God. Questions of his mightiness and greatness are asked. Elie thought that when he heard his inmates praise his name he thought "why should I bless Him? . . . Because He had thousands of children burned in His pits? Because He kept six crematories working night and day, on Sundays and feast days? Because in His great might He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many factories of death? How could I say to Him: Blessed art Thou, Eternal, Master of the Universe, Who chose us from among the races to be tortured day and night, to see our fathers, our mothers, our brothers, end in the crematory? Praised be Thy Holy Name, Thou Who hast chosen us to be butchered on Thine altar?” Elie was thinking of all of the atrocities that he had witnessed himself and questioned why his god allowed such to happen. He wondered why his race was chosen, he wondered why God would create such a place like Auschwitz, and why his God has done nothing to stop the things done to innocent people.

To help him not " to get rid of his father ...[ to not want to]sought this separation in order to get rid of the burden, to free himself from an encumbrance which could lessen his own chances of survival."(Wiesel 81) He wished to gain strength and in doing so "a prayer rose in my heart, to that God in whom I no longer believed. My God, Lord of the Universe, give me strength never to do what Rabbi Eliahou's son has done."(Wiesel 81)]]> 2019-02-24 04:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ht175821/vcg0uyhy2dj5/wish/334515928 ht175821 https://padlet.com/ht175821/vcg0uyhy2dj5/wish/335725559 Elie was separated from his religion totally. When his father died " There were no prayers at his grave. No candles were lit to his memory."(Wiesel 69)He had no hope in living because his father, the sole reason he had lived on, had died. But in the depth of his being He felt "Free at Last!"(Wiesel 69). If he were still attached to his religion such thought would never have crossed his mind. He would only face the probelm of facign himself.]]> 2019-02-27 02:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ht175821/vcg0uyhy2dj5/wish/335725559
