How does Elie relate to our class?

Elie Wiesel's trilling and jaw-dropping novel is a fascinating story between a jewish father and son's fight for survival. Seperated from their family at the beginning of the Holocaust and sent to different concentration camps, each time showing how much each one cares for the other, if it's giving up your portion of bread for the day becuase your father is sick and in need of it well so be it, or if its caring your son through the snow because his feet are hurting a little less than yours are well so be it. The novel is centered around a jewish boys fight in the inevitable genocide also known as the Holocaust. Who is faced to overcome many body bruising tasks. The character is confronted with many obstacles and through out the story has to find something or someone to believe in, and that was his fuel; his energy; his inspiration to perservere inspite the harsh conditions. It also may relate because each protagonist begins to question the existance God in some point of the story, each one questions their faith. For example in Night when Elie begins to ponder if there is in fact a God who cares and whatches over his so called "sons", because he can't comprehend that if there was a true and good God that he would allow the Nazi to do such cruel things.
We are presented the same situation in Job when Satan is granted permission to test Jobs "faith", after Satan inflicts Job with the horrible skin sore, Job curses God comparing his life with light and dark.
The way Elie expressed himself, was a very important factor to the novel, he made me feel at least, that I was a jew, and made me feel hate towards the Nazi. Even though I learned that many of the SS soldiers that were part of the massacre, weren't vicious creatures, they had a family and felt compassion for the jews. What they lacked in was the strenght to go against Hitler's word and his followers, they were afraid to say "No!" I will not be part of this horrible expirnment. I remember while I was reading I couldn't keep my eyes from the pages, I remember vividly that I would go to sleep angry, thinking about how much the jews were tortured, how much they suffered, for the religion they followed, and many were born into that religion and didn't practice it at all.
It reminded me of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the way he expresses his thoughts on paper, almost like the real thing. Gabo has a way with words that makes you feel like your present in the moment, that you can feel the emotions running in you, thats how I felt as I was sailing across the adventure that Elie Wiesel exposes with his award winning Night.
