Through the help of spiritual and religious “mentors” such as his father, mother, Moshe the Beadle, and the Pole, main character Eliezer in Night by Elie Wiesel has a strong change in his faith in God. Eliezer struggles to find reasons to appreciate God’s existence when he has sent him, his family, and his friends through the entire process of this terrible period of time, known as the Holocaust. First of all, in the very beginning of his journey before deportation, his father and the rest of his family assure Eliezer that if he keeps faith in God and prays to the Lord, then everything will eventually be okay. When the family is settled in their tiny ghetto, their mother keeps repeating “we must keep going, we must keep going” (16).
