Night quotes chapter 5+6

Section 5

"How could I say to Him: "Blessed art Thou, Eternal, Master of the Universe, Who chose us from among the races to be tortured day and night, to see our fathers, our mothers, our brothers, end in the crematory?"  (Wiesel 74).

Elie expresses his confusion and how upset he is over the horrible situation best when he thinks about how God has not helped them.  He knows there is no way God is fair if he lets them burn and suffer for worshiping him.  The environment he is thrust into because of his religion is so evil that in his opinion there is no way God could allow them to continue existing.  Because of this he loses his faith and relies more on himself and believes that he can be better than God.

Section 6

"I could feel myself as two entities - my body and me.  I hated it" (Wiesel 92)

In this quote Elie tells how bad a condition he was in.  The weeks in the concentration camps had made him weak and unfit to the point where existing is a burden.  In the long run to Gleiwitz this kind of weakness is what killed off many of the Jews.  Without his father as a reason to keep living, Elie would certainly have died with many of the others.
