In "Night," Elie Wiesel grapples with the profound struggle of faith in the face of unimaginable suffering during the Holocaust. He questions the reason for blessing God, as he contemplates the horrific events that have led to the deaths of countless innocents, including children. Wiesel's internal conflict amplifies as he reflects on the existence of death camps like Auschwitz, where the machinery of genocide relentlessly operated, challenging the notion of a benevolent deity.

Wiesel's anguish culminates in a powerful rejection of traditional expressions of faith. He cannot reconcile the horrors he witnesses with the idea of praising an omnipotent God who allows such atrocities. His words express a deep sense of betrayal; how could one honor a divine presence that seemingly chose his people for suffering rather than salvation? This powerful narrative reveals the intense crisis of belief faced by those enduring such profound loss and anguish.
