In the novel, "Night", Elie Wiesel is a Jewish boy raised religiously by his family and friends, and then who lost his innocence and his faith in God. Elie got his religious inspiration from a friend in his home town of Sighet, called Moshe the Beadle, who was a man of all work and who was a caretaker of the synagogue in the local area. Moshe the Beadle explained to Elie the wonders and mysteries of the Cabala, which inspired his interests in the Jewish faith. Elie lost his faith and innocence while he was forced into the concentration camps by the Nazi, and was separated from his mother and sisters and later lost his father. Throughout his time in the camps, he witnessed many horrifying events that will remain tattooed in his memory until the last of his days. He forced himself to stay alive, even when he had nothing left to live for and it would have been easier to lay down and die. The only thing that kept him alive in the camps was not leaving his father alone in the harsh conditions that they had to face day to day in the camps.
             Elie Wiesel was separated from his mother and sisters as soon as they entered the camp. Little did he realize, that it was the last time he would ever see his mother and younger sister, Tzipora. Elie also had to behold many atrocities, such as witnessing events like this.
             Not far from us, flames were leaping up from a ditch, gigantic flames. They were burning something. A lorry drew up at the pit and delivered its load - little children. Babies! Yes, I saw it - saw it with my own eyes...those children in the flames. (Wiesel 30).
             Elie was so traumatized by these images that he was surprise he could even sleep. How is it possible for a young teenager to save his innocence, when it was robbed from within him when he saw the merciless events that took place.
