photo from: www.exguides.orgThis symbol of fire is adequate for the novel Night because physically and mentally everything in the world went up into flames for the Jews and the other victims of the Holocaust. To the Jewish religion fire was associated with God and divine wrath, but they hadn't done anything wrong. The Nazis used fire to exterminate them and to get rid of the remains (evidence) against them. It upset Eli's concept of the universe and his faith in God.
