I learned that being put through tragic events such as the holocaust, can make you loose total and complete faith in God.
"It's over. God is no longer with us." (p 76.)
If Elie were to give us advice, he would tell us to not let antisemitism exist. He would tell us that we should never, ever use the word hate, because it leads to nothing but destruction. Even after everything Elie went through, he still doesn't use the word hate. I believe he would also tell us that revenge is not the answer. The best thing we can do in life is to take the things that we've been through and use it to make us stronger because anger and violent acts will get you no where.
