Night by ellie wiesel
"How did Wiesel’s belief in God change through his camp experiences?"Why do people’s beliefs change? What would cause a strong believer in God to no longer acknowledge his existence? These changes could be a result of things experienced in a person’s life. In Elie Wiesel’s book, Night, Elie loses his faith in God because he experienced firsthand the Nazi death camp horrors. At the age of twelve, Elie Wiesel was a strong believer in God. He read the Talmud daily and visited the synagogue nightly. He even asked his father to find a master to guide him in his studies of the cabbala. (pg.l) Elie made friends with Moshe the Beadle. They talked for hours of the revelations and mysteries of the cabbala. (p. 3) Even when the Nazis began acting unfairly towards him and other Jews, he still kept his faith in God. When the Germans arrived, they brought with them the anti-Jewish decrees and the ghettos. These things didn’t seem to have much effect on Elie. He sat with some of his schoolmates in the Ezra Maik gardens, studying the Talmud. (p. 10) He continued to fast (p. 15) The Nazis beat him and other Jews with truncheon
