Blog #5 Belief

In the book night the Jewish people are strong believers throughout the holocaust. For example the main character Elizer Wiesel was very interested in learning more about his culture. He had been a devoted boy because he went to the synagogue frequently before the Germans took the Jews away. He has studied the religious books. Elizer had a strong bond with god this made him survive through the Holocaust. He had always prayed and stayed connected with god even after all of the Jews were treated badly and they had been through the hardest things of life because of a political tyrant. The Jews during the holocaust did not have that much faith in god because they believed that if god really was there the holocaust would not have happened. But Elizer kept praying and didn’t lose faith in god. His faith in god had helped him survive and his father with him by his side when all the other families had been separated.
