As I was reading Night by Elie Wiesel, I noticed a theme that was affecting Elie greatly at Buna.  That is  his loss of faith in Judaism and in his everyday life.  My first example is when the man went to go and try to steal an extra ration of soup. Here Elie says, “In our minds he is already dead” (59).  This quote shows that Elie has given up on the fact that it is possible that he wouldn’t be seen.  An example of Elie and others giving up on Judaism is when they were hanging the child, and the man behind Elie said, “For God's sake where is God?”  Then Elie thought to himself “ Where  He is? This is where hanging here from this gallows” (65).  This tells me that Elie in a way believes that God is dead and is no longer there to protect them.  When the selection came, a lot of Jews lost their faith.  There was one in particular, Akiba Drumer who was selected it the first selection and started saying things like, “I can’t go on... It’s over…” In response to this Elie said, “ He was not alone in having lost his faith in those days of the selection” (76).  All of these examples have shown that the Holocaust made many Jews lose faith in what he believed in.
