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 simply because they were hated by the Nazis for who they are. In Elie Wiesel's memoir Night, he recounts the petrifying experiences he lived through and which marked him forever. Some things can never go unnoticed, and this was the case for Wiesel. Without his father, his last hope of life would have been shattered and he would not have survived. As each horrific event unfolds in the concentration camps, the true strength of the relationship between Elie Wiesel and his father comes to light and gradually strengthens over the course of their time there. As a little boy, Wiesel's relationship with his father was tenuous. Wiesel states: “My father was a cultured man, rather unsentimental… He was more concerned for others than for his own family” (2). Highly respected in the community, Wiesel's father was often busy with business and obligations, which never left 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 Beadle, who soon becomes more of a father to Wiesel than he thought his father would ever be. However, Moshe is then deported, leaving Wiesel seemingly fatherless once again. Wiesel and his family had no idea of ​​the terrors that would accompany deportation. At the time it seems harmless, but they have no idea what awaits them. This marks the beginning of the first change in the relationship between Wiesel and his father...... middle of paper ......, with eternal guilt, stays with Wiesel forever. Although Wiesel and his father's relationship begins very distantly, they are almost inseparable by the time his father dies. So many things bring them together and they push each other to stay alive. Once Wiesel's father dies, nothing matters to him anymore. He does not describe the three months that passed between his father's death and his release because nothing could touch him anymore. His father was his only weak point and he was missing. This completely traumatized Wiesel and would remain etched in his mind forever. Eleven million innocent lives were destroyed, making the Holocaust arguably the worst event in world history. Although this is just Elie Wiesel's story, millions of others will leave a small mark on this tragedy that will be remembered forever..
