Miller Park would have to be filled to capacity 262 times to equal the total of eleven million people who died during the Holocaust. Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and many others were killed for the sole reason of being hated by the Nazis for who they are. In his memoir Night, Elie Wiesel recounts the petrifying experiences he had that marked him forever. Some things can never be invisible, and this was the case with Wiesel. If it weren't for his father, his last hope of life would have been shattered and he would not have survived. As each terrifying event unfolds in the concentration camps, the true strength of the relationship between Elie Wiesel and his father is shown and becomes progressively stronger during their time there. As a child, Wiesel's relationship with his father was tenuous. Wiesel states: "My father was a cultured man, rather unsentimental... He cared more about others than about his own family" (2). Being well respected in the community, Wiesel's father is often busy with his business and duties, which never leaves much time for his family. Wiesel's relationship with his father lacks the chemistry that a father and son usually possess. After his father discourages him from studying Kabbalah, he decides to find his own teacher. He finds Moshe the Priest, who soon becomes more of a father to Wiesel than he ever thought his father would ever be. However, Moshe is later deported, leaving Wiesel seemingly fatherless once again. Wiesel and his family had no idea of ​​the terrors that would come with deportation. At the moment it seems harmless, but they have no idea what awaits them. This is what marks the beginning of the first change in the relationship between Wiesel and his family...... middle of paper......, along with the eternal feeling of guilt, will remain with Wiesel forever. Although Wiesel and his father's relationship starts out very distant, they are nearly inseparable when his father dies. Many things bring them closer and push each other to stay alive. Once Wiesel's father dies, nothing else matters to him anymore. He does not describe the three months that passed since his father's death and his liberation because nothing could touch him anymore. His father was his only weakness and he was missing. This completely traumatizes Wiesel and will be imprinted in his mind forever. Eleven million innocent people's lives were destroyed, making the Holocaust probably the worst event in world history. Although this is only the story of Elie Wiesel, millions of others will leave a small footprint in this tragedy that will be remembered forever.
