    Eliezer was brought up in a devout Jewish household and firmly believed in God, but witnessing the immense suffering and cruelty during the Holocaust caused him to question his faith. As his faith was shaken, he started to change as observance and belief in God were previously unquestioned parts of his identity. His first night in Birkenau, where he arrived by cattle car, further damaged his faith as he saw the immense suffering around him that challenged his previous religious beliefs.

    Faith and its Struggles

    In the context of ‘Night’ by Elie Wiesel

    Hridai Madhukar
    Eliezer’s faith

    • Eliezer was a 15 year old young boy brought up in a Jewish household which made
    him a firm believer in God and the teachings of the Hebrew Bible.

    • The Holocaust brought a change in Eliezer as he started to question his faith.


    • Night is a coming of age story
    Crisis of Faith

    • The suffering and cruelty that Eliezer witnessed.


    • He met people who were going through the same crisis has was.
    • Observance and belief were unquestioned parts of his core sense of identity, so once
    his faith is irreparably shaken, he becomes a completely different person.
    Eliezer’s description of his first night at Birkenau
    Thank you
