The book "Night" by Elie Wiesel give lots of lessons about survival, family, and inhumane acts in our world. One positive lesson that Elie tried to hint at is the importance of family. Elie had loss all of his immediate family, but it wasn't easy losing them. He tried his hardest to keep his dad alive. He would give up his own food to keep him alive. Even if Elie needed the food to survive, he still gave it to his dad instead. He would never give up on him. A possible theme could be, "Your family will never give up on each other, even at it's hardest times." Elie persevered through his whole journey.
There should always be some kind of hope that everything will be alright in the end. Although there are some certain extents where you shouldn't have to "thank God." Elie felt that why should they still pray to God when all these disasters are happening, which is true. Everyone else was thanking him and believed that he is doing this to teach a lesson. 11 million people died in the Holocaust, so there's no reason to "Thank God." For a man like Adolf Hitler, to kill 11 million people, he should never deserve redemption. Just killing one person on purpose should be enough to never be given redemption. Hitler was powerful, but is greatly hated throughout the world and how he negatively affected our world's society.
