1. In times of strife and turmoil, some people become closer to God, whereas others shun their religion and turn away from God. How could the Holocaust bring you closer or push you away from God? Examine Wiesel’s position.

2. Think back to when you were 16. Would you have been able to handle the emotional turmoil of having to leave your home, your friends, and watch your family be ripped apart?

3. As a parent, how would you feel if your child sacrificed your life in order for them to be able to survive?

4. It is hard to see one's religion degraded and spat upon by society. Would you personally be able to keep fighting for your faith, or would you just accept what was going on around you?

5. Did you know that genocide still occurs today? While reading the book Night were you motivated to make a difference so that your children will not be placed in a situation similar to Wiesel's?
