Survivors of the Holocaust had to rebuild their lives and their very reasons for living; so much was shattered by the Holocaust. The Jewish faith was an intricate part of what they had lost during the Holocaust. This photo represents Eli's railing against a God which he starts to believe does not exist.
Throughout the novel Night Eli struggles with his relationship with God. He loves and adores God in the beginning and even cries when he is praying. As Night goes on however he starts to question and then starts to renounce God. Eli doesn't believe that God would do nothing to help him. And even now questions why he was saved out of all those people who were killed.
