While the authors of Nuit, La Métamorphose, Maus and Fragments d'Isabelle use symbols to reflect alienation and dehumanization. In the book Night, Wiesel shares his experiences with his father in concentration camps during World War II. The story shows dehumanization in many ways. For example, a German officer said to the Jews: “'There are eighty of you in this wagon,' added the German officer. “If anyone is missing, you will all be slaughtered, like dogs…. » (Wiesel 22).

The phrase “you will all be slaughtered like dogs” compares them to animals, showing them incapable of human qualities. After the separation, while the Jews were at the crematoria, “a truck stopped in front of the grave and deposited its load of grandchildren. The babies!...those children in the flames” (Wiesel 30), is another example of dehumanization. Jews could see, smell and hear their fellow Jews being burned alive.

After Wiesel became a member of Block 17, he said, “Our clothes were left behind and we were promised other outfits. Around midnight we were told to run” (Wiesel 38).
