Compare and Contrast Blog Post

Night and Shoah are obviously similar because they both talk about being in a concentration camp, but if you look closer you notice that the two are different because in Night they talk about the time in the train before they get to the camp. While Shoah tells you about the camp its self. In night Wiesel tells the reader about how little space they had and the conditions of the ride. "The heat, the thirst, the stench, the lack of air, were suffocation us" (Wiesel, 27). The train car was filled with people and one woman lost her mind because of the separation from her family. This shows us what it would possibly feel like not knowing where your going or how its going to be and having to deal with the fact you will probably die. In Shoah they tell you that Auschwitz meant you would die and that it was worst than terrible. And that people from all over the world were forced to go there. This can tell us that Auschwitz was not a nice camp. What makes these two selections different it that they are both telling you a different part of a story.
