Faith,Trust,and Illusions


Elie believe that the Jew’s faith, trust, and illusions caused them to be victimized by the Germans. The Jews believe in there god, but believed that he was going to fix everything. They trusted in thee Germans.They thought the Germans would keep them from harm, as long as they do what was told. Illusions of the Jews made them believe the Germans was taking them away from danger. The evidence of what the Germans was doing was not clear to the Jews. Faith of the Jews made them victims of the Germans. In the memoir of Elie it said,”In the beginning there was faith-which is childish.”Also, it said,”For God’s sake, where is God?”They believed  in God and thought he was going to fix everything. Faith in there God made them think he was to save everybody. Faith just made things worse because the faith would not help them to stay live for long. There was no hope in faith.
The trust cause them to be victimized by the Germans soldiers. The Jew trusted in the Germans in the beginning.They thought the Germans was taking them to a better place.In the story it said,”The -Red-Cross negutiating our liberation or other fables...And often we would believe them.”This shows that the Jews trust in the Germans was high,but the outcome is ways different then they say.The book also said,”Trust-which is vain.”The trust is never great .Its just stupid to trust the Germans.
Illusions also contributed to the genocide of the Jews.For the Jews,illusions in Aushwitz to much dangerous.In the story it said,”And illusions-which is dangerous.”This means illusions is always never good.Another is,’Who know they may be sending us away for own good.The front is getting closer,we shall soon here the guns.And then surely the civilian population will be evacuated.”The Germans was not taking them to a better place.They are taking them to kill the rest of them,just what Hitler promise to do.
Therefore,Elie felt that the Jews faith,trust,and illusion cause them to be victimized.The faith in God.The trust in Germans.The illusion which cause death. All contributed to the genocide of the Jews
