The relationships between the members of a family are very delicate and they can change depending of the facts that happen due to the different conditions like wars and other difficulties of the life. At the very beginning of the story, all the Jews of Sighet were relaxed in the aspect that they didn’t know that the Nazis were going to take the entire town to a concentration camp. The relationships between the families were normally pacific. The families prayed together, they played together. Almost everything was going good, until the families were taken to the transport-tracks, to the concentration camp of Auschwitz.
In the way to Auschwitz, the relationships between the members of the families started changing. All the people were quite, thinking about their fate and imagining how was going to be their own future in the place that they won’t be, and where the most members of the families were going to be murdered.
Once in Auschwitz, the SS separated the families in women and men. Everybody was sad. Thousand of tears were flowing in every face. The unique thing that still worrying the members of families, who were with some of them, it was to continue being together. With the passage of time, the people started realizing that they had to survive with the little food that the Nazis were giving to them. Less than a loaf of bread, some coffee, soup, and it was not daily. They had to begin worrying about themselves and not worrying about look after the family. Because if the people were not strong. They would be sent to the crematorium. “The weak ones must die”.
At the end of the Genocide, the American troops came into the concentration and death camps. They rescued the survivors. Their unique thought was, to eat a lot and awake from that nightmare. Soon they began to miss their families, and the lucky ones who had a member of the family with them, began a new life trying to forget the horrible things that they had seen in Auschwitz. The war is a horrible situation that makes change the behavior of every single person involved in the conflict. The war is a moment that flips the feelings, and it doesn’t forgive anybody. And the worst moment of a war is the end of it, when the survivors started realizing that they lost their “life” acting of a certain way to survive, “killing” the people that they love.
"The book Night was a the most shocking book I have ever read. This is the best autobiography I have ever read. It was shocking because he wrote this book from when he was in the concentration camps during World War II. He is very descriptive as to everything the SS officers made him do and what they did to the other Jews around him. The most shocking thing was that toward the end they made him, his father and the rest of the Jews in the camp run fifty miles to another camp to get away from the Soviet army. Also, that they beat his father even though he was old and dying. All of this shows how much people could hate others just because they aren't like them and think they are an inferior race.
