Elie Wiesel is quite emphatic about the cruelty of the Nazis. At the same time, he holds a great deal of anger towards Jewish individuals who failed to speak out and act in a manner that defied indifference. Throughout Night, we see instances where the cruelty and dehumanization the Nazis showed towards Jewish individuals, similar treatment is shown with Jewish individuals towards one another.
