Genocide

The genocide is slavery that white didn't like blacks and they wanted them to work for them also segregation because they didn't want blacks and whites together black people had different water fountains different bathrooms ,jobs. One country that genocide happen in was turkey because turkish people didn't like the armenians calling turkey their home and if you said that turkey was your home you were either deported or killed history repeat itself because it happen to the jews, african americans,and the armenians.

Night

The title night makes me believe that he went though  darkness,lonliness, coldness and hate Elie Wiesel went though alot of stuff during his experience with the holocaust he only ate ration's of bread and soup that contained hot water and chicken fat he was so skinny you cold see his bones also he had to run from one concentration camp to another concentration camp called  Gleiwitz  if you didn't keep up with the pace you were shot or trampled . Night also ment death many people would go missing at night.

Meaning of the Nazi symbol

The swastika was a symbol of good fortune or blessing or happiness in many cultures for thousands of years. In Europe the swastika became an accepted form of the Christian cross. The Nazis adopted it as their symbol simply because it looked mystical and had associations with early German culture.
