Significant Passage from Night

The passage that we found significant to the theme and setting of the story was "Night fell. Some twenty people had gathered in our courtyard. My father was sharing some anecdotes and holding forth on his opinion of the situation. He was a good storyteller. Suddenly, the gate opened, and Stern, a former shopkeeper who now was a policeman,entered and took my father aside. (......)  The story he had interrupted would remain unfinished." (Wiesel, 12)

It connects to the setting by illustrating a dark imagine of how many lives were being interrupted as reality of world war 2 slowly become a real part of their lives. It also connects to the theme of the story by relating the unfinished stories to the lifes of millions of Jews that Hitler killed. The theme of the story is the dark life that the author went through which easily could of ended.

Holocaust Question Hypothesis- How did some of Hitler's soldiers disagree with him and what did they do about it?

I chose this question because not a lot of people know or think of the opinions of the Nazi soldiers. They were just displayed as horrible people, but not a lot of people thought about putting themselves in their shoes.

The Nazi soldiers that didn't want to follow Hitler's ideals diffidently had an internal struggle between wanting to serve and following Hitler's orders. They wanted Germany to be victorious against the other European powers, but not through the way that Hitler was doing it. Some maybe didn't like murdering Jews to win the war while others didn't like their fascist government made by Hitler. Either way, they wanted to take him down in some form of way.

There were planned attacks against Hitler within his own army. One example of this is when Hitler was in a meeting, this was a bomb planted underneath the table that went off during the meeting. Hitler obviously survived, but with minor injuries. It was later known that a high ranked soldier did it.
