Thursday, April 24, 2008
In the last series of discussions posts, you looked at how the Nazis sought to dehumanize their victims. Some Jews tried to oppose these brutal measures if only by showing some form of spiritual resistance as they had attempted to do in the ghettos. You may recall Eliezer’s dilemma as to whether he should fast on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Reread that passage on pages 65-66 of Night and also consider an op-ed piece by Elie Wiesel that appeared in the New York Times on October 2, 1997. "A Prayer for the Days of Awe" was written around the time of the same holiday some 50 years later. You should then post your responses to the following question: How did some Jews keep their faith in God; why did Elie turn away from God in the camps, and how, fifty years later, did Wiesel reveal his true feelings toward God?

I believe that he or she who listens to a survivor becomes a witness, because a survivor was a witness. And he or she who listens to a witness becomes a witness. And then, my faith is justified.
Elie Wiesel
You are the messengers to a time I shall not see; but I am confident that in your hands, the future leaders of this beloved country, the future leaders of the free world, through your understanding, through your brains, and through your heart, you will see to it that stories like mine will never be written again or made movies of. And, for that, please accept my thanks and my love.
