The part of the book that stands out to me is when the Nazi takes Elie and a group of other jews towards the crematorium just close enough to see it so that the whole time the jews are soiling themselves and then leads the jews away from the crematorium. this shows the Nazi's dehuminisation towards the jews and cruelty they showed.

__TASK 2__** b) What is meant by the "The dark night of the soul" and how does this relate to Elie?            What is night to Elie?    darkness or night most of the time refers to something evil or the unknown. but in elies case i think it only refers to haveing a place to be free, the only time that they arnt in a living hell!

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">Ellie means that all people and there religions are equal none are inferior or superior than other and that people that judge other people are racist! this goes to show the anger and frustration that the germans made the jewish suffer.

The germans dehuminised the jews greatly by treating them like animalsif that! using babies as shooting targets, throwingthem in the cremitoriams and burning them alive,whipping them, hanging them, giving them poor sleeping and living conditions. there reasons for doing such disgusting acts would be because the germans saw the jews as a threat. and didn't understand there contradicting religion and belifs! <span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(254, 52, 52)"> ** <span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(254, 52, 52)">4.

the crazy woman and her son at the beginning of the time we know them, they are close and the young boy protects her mother but by the time everyone is kicking her he just doesn't care and is sort of dumbfounded.

 * A highly symbolic number in the [|Torah], alluding to the infusion of spirituality and Godliness into the [|creation]. For example:
 * 1) [|God] rested on and sanctified the seventh day ([|Shabbat]).
 * 2) A seven-day [|purification] period is required for one who has become //tamei// to become //tahor//.
 * 3) The //[|Shmita]// (Sabbatical) year arrives every seventh year.
 * 4) The [|Jubilee] (//Yovel//) year comes after 7 times 7 years.
 * 5) The [|Counting of the Omer] leading up to the Giving of the Torah is expressed as "7 times 7 weeks."
 * 6) There are 7 days of [|Passover] and [|Sukkot] when celebrated in [|Israel].
 * 7) Shiv`a (another pronunciation of the Hebrew word for 7 -- ([|Hebrew]: **שבעה** ; "seven")), is the number of days of mourning. Hence, one //sits Shiva//. As in [|Shiva (Judaism)]
 * The weekly [|Torah] portion is divided into seven [|aliyahs], and seven men or boys over the age of 13 are called up for the reading of these aliyahs during [|Shabbat] morning services.
 * Seven blessings are recited under the [|chuppah] during a Jewish wedding ceremony.
 * A Jewish bride and groom are feted with seven days of festive meals after their wedding, known as //Sheva Berachot// ("Seven Blessings").
 * The number of [|Ushpizzin] (also known as the "Seven Shepherds") who visit the sukkah during the holiday of [|Sukkot]: [|Abraham], [|Isaac], [|Jacob], [|Joseph], [|Moses], [|Aaron], and [|David].
 * The number of nations God told the [|Israelites] they would displace when they entered the land of [|Israel] (Deut. 7:1): the [|Hittite], the [|Girgashite], the [|Amorite], the [|Canaanite], the [|Perizzite], the [|Hivite], and the [|Jebusite].
 * In [|Breslov] tradition, the seven orifices of the face (2 eyes, 2 [|nostrils], 2 ears, and the mouth) are called "The Seven Candles."
 * The menorah (Hebrew: מנורה), is a seven branched candelabrum lit by olive oil in the Tabernacle and the Temple in Jerusalem. The menorah is one of the oldest symbols of the Jewish people. It is said to symbolize the burning bush as seen by Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 25).
 * The number of times Cain will be avenged by God if he is murdered (Gen 4:15).
 * The [|Israelites] circled [|Jericho] for 7 days and then the wall tumbled down.
 * Yahweh or Jehovah is the divine name, whose letters' placed alphabetically equal 70, a product of the divine number 7.
