Two Paragraph Reflection

What are the positive lessons of the Holocaust that Wiesel hints at in the story?
Is redemption for man possible, after committing actions like or similar to the Holocaust?

Wiesel provides positive lessons from the Holocaust that we can all learn upon. Showing that determination and the will to survive can prevail and it is possible to do the impossible. Through all odds, Elie Wiesel survives the Second World War as a prisoner in a concentration camp and it shows how hope is prevalent in times of desperation. Throughout the book, we also see how important family is to Wiesel and it teaches us to cherish our own families with all our heart. Wiesel's father was the motivation that kept him going and pushed him to survive. Lastly, Wiesel slightly hints to us that anger and vengeance are not worthy of our time as we live our lives.

Redemption for man is clearly possible even for those who committed heinous crimes like the Holocaust. Shown at the end of the novel, " Night" where the prisoners of concentration camps would not feel anger or hatred toward those who stripped away their freedom for years. Even after the terrible actions that were done by fellow human beings, there was no thought of anger. However, it would be extremely difficult to redeem the people behind the gruesome actions. Redemption for the men would not be impossible but would still be difficult to overlook the actions during the War.
