"Wiesel's Night"
In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, the author as a teenager was taken away with hisfamily to a concentration camp. He was separated from his mother and his sister Tzipora and left alone with his father in Auschwitz concentration camp where only the strongest would survive. After thedeath of his father a few months later he was freed from the concentration camps but he was never able to forget the awful experiences he lived there.
To begin with, Elie and his family'sterrifying encounter with death, started when they were taken into the ghetto and had to wait there until they were put into train carts to be taken to concentration camps. Elie had to learn how to survive inharsh conditions as a young boy. When they had finally arrived to the camps they were separated by gender and that was the last time Elie saw his mother and sister Tzipora. The men had to then goand say their age and profession. If the profession was of no use then you would be put into the crematoria. Luckily Elie and his father were put into the group to work. This was the beginning of Elie'slife in a concentration camp; little did he know that the pain and horror would last for 4 years. 
Throughout his journey during the holocaust Elie started doubting of the existence of god, andhe lost his faith in him. He learned to survive with the minimum amount of food, water, sleep and hard working conditions. Also, to live with the idea that he could have died those 4 years in tconcentration camps. His main reason for not giving up in the camps was so his father would not be alone. Furthermore, a terrible thought loomed up in my mind: he had wanted to get rid of his father. He hadfelt that his father was growing weak; he had believed that the end was near and he had to get rid of the burden, to free him from an impediment which could decrease his own chances of survival....
