The Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw once said: “The worst sin against our fellow men is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; this is the essence of inhumanity. Inhumanity is the worst attribute of humanity. Ordinary humans are sometimes brought to the point where they have no choice but to think about themselves. This indifference can lead to inhumanity. One of the most famous examples used today is the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel's memoir, Night, demonstrates how fear is a deliberate force that pushes people to act in ways they never thought possible. After being sent to concentration camps, Elie and his family saw and committed such cruel acts that traumatized him for life. His fears rob Elijah of his innocence and lead him to lose faith and break off close relationships. Throughout the book, it is clear that Elijah has a constant struggle with belief in God. Before Auschwitz, Elie was eager, even motivated, to learn more about Jewish mystics. Yet after being exposed to the reality of concentration camps, Elijah began to question God. According to Elie, God “burned thousands of children… He operated six crematoria day and night… He created Auschwitz, Birkenau, [and] Buna” (67). Elijah could not believe the atrocities happening around him. He couldn't believe that the God he follows tolerated such things. In moments of sadness, when everyone prayed and sanctified his name, Elijah no longer wanted to praise the Lord; He was about to give up. The fact that the “Terrible Master of the Universe chose to remain silent” (33) made Elijah lose hope and faith. Remaining silent about such inhumanity is just as destructive as those that provoke savagery. Elie couldn't believe it...... middle of paper ...... o adulthood. When Elijah was finally freed and, for the first time in years, saw himself in a mirror and “from the depths of the mirror, a corpse gazed at him” (115). Although Elie physically survived Auschwitz, he was emotionally dead. The many traumatic experiences he went through affected Elie so much that he lost his innocence and his will to live. The reason for his survival was purely luck. Fear can cause people to irrational their thinking and act unreasonably. For example, fear of death leads prisoners to deprioritize their loved ones. Even disbelief in such an indifferent God in such a short time is considered unreasonable. From the beginning, Elijah was forced into adulthood without a choice. Well, if inhumanity and fear can turn people into animals, how can Elijah avoid this fate ??
