Even more events are reviled in this section of the story not so much as gruesome, but unfair. They have migrated to Buna, a new concentration camp not at gruesome as Auschwitz. Here their mouths were examined to check for gold teeth. These were ways that Germans could get extra money and at the same time hurt these people more. This chapter, Wiesel is loosing faith in God. Although God has abandoned Jews in their time of need, I feel like faith is what can carry him through this time in the concentration camp. Although I assume many have already lost faith, Wiesel should be the exception. He wrote a story about death and hard times for him and his people and the author; the one who survives is telling his audience that he looses faith in God. As the reader, this scares me. But what frightens me even more is when Wiesel states, "I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else...” (81). I get nervous when I read this because as he looses faith in God, I loose faith for him. I had to double take and see if I saw this passage right. The reader can sense the nervousness in Wiesel when his father is getting examined by doctors. Wiesel knows his father is getting old and he knows that if this horrible time does not end soon, the doctors are going to take his father away and the rest is too uncomfortable to be said.
