To tell the reader that Eliezer is still haunted by his experiences today

What is significant about the following passage (Night, Chapter 3)? Explain in a minimum of 3 sentences. You might consider the point of view, tone, or use of language.
NEVER SHALL I FORGET that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke.
Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky. Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever.
Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for all eternity of the desire to live.
Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes.
Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself.
Never.
Most of Night is told from Elie's perspective as a teenager, but this passage changes to Elie's point of view as an adult.
Wiesel uses the repetition of "never shall I forget" to show the lasting impact that the Holocaust (more specifically, watching people being murdered at Auschwitz) has had on his life.
He also uses powerful language and imagery ("flames that consumed my faith" "nocturnal silence" "turned my dreams to ashes") so that the scene stands out to the reader.
The tone could be described as sorrowful, hopeless, haunted...

(10.2)Everybody around us was weeping. Someone began to recite Kaddish, the prayer for the dead. I don't know whether, during the history of the Jewish people, men have ever before recited Kaddish for themselves.
"Yisgadal, veyiskadash, shmey raba...May His name be celebrated and sanctified..." whispered my father.

Wiesel’s reaction to the others says the Jewish prayer for the dead adds to the development of theme mainly by
demonstrating the change in his relationship with God from complete faith to doubt and anger

"The Perils of Indifference" and Night address similar subject matter; how do they each emphasize different details?
Why do they emphasize different details?
3 sentence minimum.
Both of these texts are written by Elie Wiesel and are centered around the Holocaust.
Night shows Wiesel's Holocaust experience as a teenage boy. It focuses on his personal experiences, emotions, and development. "The Perils of Indifference" focuses on the responsibility of bystanders and the dangers of indifference. It was written in the late 1990s when Wiesel was older and had a different perspective on the Holocaust. He questions why the United States did not get involved in WW2 sooner and hopes that this will not happen in future inhumane situations.
The texts emphasize different details because Night is a memoir, which is written to give a firsthand account of the Holocaust, and "Perils of Indifference" is a speech, written to inspire Americans not to let history repeat itself.
