Night: pages 45-70

Wow! So much has happened in so few pages! I am still wondering, would I risk my life for some soup? Would I have been that desperate? Or would I have the guts to stay and see if I deserve to lose everything that I have worked for, for just one sip of soup? I guess I can`t judge cause I don’t know how I would react if I am ever placed in that situation, God forbid.

When it got to the part when Elie started to doubt God, I just can`t imagine how desperate he was that made him doubt God and question him like the way he did. So I asked myself the same question that I have asked throughout the book, how would I react? How would WE react?

When I finished reading, I started wondering, how did Hitler`s mind worked? Was he a psychopath? I started remembering when I went to Washington, the moment I entered the walls of the Holocaust Museum, the deep sadness that entered my body and it was the first time I knew that it actually happened. I entered an exhibition called "Danny`s Story" and what shocked me most was that this little kid`s life, changed radically from one day to another, with no time to process it.
