Role Of Religion In Night By Elie Wiesel

How does religion push people? How does it give people hope? Is there an extent to it? Elie Wiesel’s book Night he showed how through his experience on how tragedy can shape your faith in religion. While in Auschwitz his faith was beyond tested,it was stretched,lost then found. Elie uses faith in Night to show how it is key to survival whether it’s in god or other people.

All I could think of was not to lose him. Not to remain alone.” Everyone who had faith lived for god or for family,for example, Shlomo, Eliezer’ father ran into a relative while in Auschwitz.
