Timeline of loss of religion in Night:

“Blessed be God's name?

Why, but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled.

Because He caused thousands of children to burn in His mass graves? Because He kept six crematoria working day and night, including Sabbath and the Holy Days? Because in His great might, He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death? How could I say to Him: Blessed be Thou, Almighty, Master of the Universe, who chose us among all nations to be tortured day and night, to watch as our fathers, our mothers, our brothers end up in the furnaces? Praised be Thy Holy Name, for having chosen us to be slaughtered on Thine altar?” (67).

This quote is from an important scene because it represents a main theme throughout the memoir. Wiesel slowly loses his faith. This scene really highlights his perished beliefs. He explains how much sorrow he feels and how hard it is to watch the merciless actions of the German Nazis. He explains how he watches his family and friends be tormented and ponders the very idea of God and how these tragic events can take place if God  is on their side. I don't think Wiesel is the only prisoner who has these questions and the only one who is repulsed by “God's action.” Having this loss of faith and starting so early on will impact their whole lives. They will probably have less motivation to keep on if they feel that God is not with and supporting them. When the prisoners are liberated, they might feel that it's harder to gain back their trust in God after such horrific events.
