The usual theme that Wiesel writes the most about is horror, and his books mostly examine moral issues. The reason that most of Wiesel’s books are generally against and do not favor God, is that Wiesel lost his faith in God and blames God for what happened to Jewish community during the Holocaust. Issac, a great writer, talks about Wiesel’s novels, by stating, “Wiesel’s first five novels, in fact, can be meaningfully read as a sustained, developing revolt against God from within a Jewish context” (Isaac 491). His first and one of his best books, Night, was published in 1958 which is about his experience in German concentration camps during the Holocaust (Perkins). Wiesel was born in Sighet, Romania in 1928. In the memoir Night, Wiesel writes about losing faith through his use of deliberate symbolism, purposeful irony and internal voice to demonstrate how horrible situations affect people and have the people understand what he has been through.
The memoir precisely describes the time he is in the camps and works for the Nazis.
In this book, Wiesel writes about his life during the Holocaust and how he suffers and loses his faith in God after witnessing a lot of people’s death. The memoir, Night is about Wiesel who is only fifteen years old when he is moved to Auschwitz, which is also referred to, as the “Death Camp”. One of them is Wiesel the author of the memoir Night, although what he has been through is not God’s responsibility, but it is man’s. Many people lose their faith in God during the Holocaust because of the horrible things that happen to them during this time. “Human evil is man’s responsibility, not God’s” (Chaikin 137).
