In the book Night, Elie was more angry and upset with the bystanders of the world, then the Nazis themselves. One reason he was more mad at the bystanders was when he saw the bodies burning. They reached the camp and his mom and sister were separated from him forever. He went with his dad as they needed to pass the inspection. They started moving towards the flames of flesh as he saw trucks of babies and children being tossed into the pits like animals. One by one he saw them burning, hearing their loud cries for help. His body filled with rage as he said almost yelling," How is it possible that men, women, and children were being burned as the world kept silent." He wanted to go and stop hem but his dad reassured him and kept him calm.Another reason why he was angrier at the world than the Nazis was for what they were letting them do. They reached the long barracks and were immediately forced to strip. They took their clothes and shaved their heads. They were utterly and completely humiliated. As he blamed the world for allowing these horrific murders and dehumanization crimes, he watched his father get slapped which enraged him further. They reached another room where they were finally able to sit. Elie's father got a sudden tummy ache and politely asked the guard where the restrooms are. The guard stood back and swung his arm as hard as he could, striking him in the face. Elie felt useless as his father fell to the ground. He wanted to run up and rip the guard into shreds, but due to the circumstances, he knew he couldn't. He hated the world more than ever now. He didn't understand how they could let people do such torturing thing to other humans. These thoughts ran through his head as he said, " I shall never forget that nocturanl silence that deprived me of the desire to live." The idea that the world allowed these crimes to happen to his people and him personaly devoured his will to even live. While some people my think that Eli hated the Nazis, however he is actually mad at the bystanders of the world. He blamed them for all of it, for all f the cruelty, and that they're the reason why they're going through such devastating things. He just couldn't understand why this was going on and on the inside, he knew the world was to blame. Elie was mad at the bystanders more than the Nazis for these reasons.
