Symbols
One symbol of the book night is the smoke from the chiminey of the crematory. The smoke symbolizes the Nazi's power of cruelty by killing Jews and the jews inability to fight back. The smoke shows that the Nazis were very cruel because they killed the Jews by the thousands. The smoke also shows the jews inability to fight back because their people were getting killed and the kapos were being cruel to their own people.

Religion is another symbol which symbolizes strength. Many of the jews believed that god was testing their belief when they were going through hard times and would their bond get closer to or farther away from god. In the book, the Nazi's got into Eli's head because they wanted to show that there was no god and they did get in Eli's head and Elie begain to questions his beliefs but he still believed in him.
