For any organized genocide to take place, there must be an organized attempt at mass dehumanization. This has been demonstrated time and again, in murders, massacres and through actions. Through the actions of the Rwandan army, which in the space of a few months committed hundreds of thousands of murders, killing over two-thirds of the Tutsi population. Through the denigrating and imperialistic beliefs held for hundreds of years under the mantra of the “white man's burden”. Through the Nazi soldiers who, while ultimately failing in the state-sponsored pogrom against the Jewish people, are responsible for the extermination of over six million men, women and children. Dehumanization, considered by historians and sociologists to be a vital component of war and genocide, consists of destroying a person's perception of two characteristics: identity and community. This process, carried out so ruthlessly and severely by the SS, and experienced so tragically by the Jewish people, left such an impact on Elie Wiesel that he could not bear to recount his struggle without distancing himself from his memories through the transformation into Eliezer.Notte, essentially a book written about dehumanization, chronicles one boy's survival through experiences that crushed the spirits of millions. Moishe the Beadle, one such example of a mind irrevocably damaged by the trial and a symbol of the coming tribulation, demonstrates the damage it can do to a human being. «Moishe wasn't the same. The joy in his eyes was gone. He didn't sing anymore. It no longer mentioned God or Kabbalah. He spoke only of what he had seen. But people not only refused to believe his stories, they also refused to listen to them. Moishe suffered only the initial stages of dehumanization. ...... half of the card ...... is humanity, both lose all hope. This fact is shown through Moishe, who tried in vain to save his people, shown through Akiba Drumer, who renounced his faith and resigned himself to a fate he did not deserve, and shown through the nameless child who beat his father to death for a crust of bread.. Anyway; Elie also tells another story. The story of courage, tenacity and loyalty to his fathers. This idea of ​​hope, shown when young Juliek “[Played his life] his whole being slipped on the strings, his hopes unfulfilled. Its charred past and its extinct future. Juliek, despite having lost his life, has not lost his humanity. The Nazis could steal it from him, just as they couldn't steal it from Elizer, and so Elie Wiesel witnesses this. He “[is the survivor who chooses to testify, as is his duty, to ensure that his past does not become our future.]”
