"Through the blue-tinged skylights I could see darkness gradually fading. I had ceased to feel fear. And then I was overcome by an inhuman weariness" Elie ( Wiesel 45).
Analysis
I think the Nazis were cold hearted, just as the dark night sky descripted, which is symbolism. The sentence "I ceased to feel fear," shows that the Nazis had perfected the ability to break the hope of the Jews and all that opposed. The next sentence shows that the Nazis worked them so hard that they felt unrelenting weakness and tiredness. And in doing this the Jews had already been defeated and were only robots or "tools" for the Nazis.

"So much had happened within such a few hours that I had lost all sense time. When had we left our houses? And the Ghetto? And the train? Was it only a week? One night- one single night?
Analysis
The Nazis wasted no time, as shown in this passage. They used their time so efficiently that the Jews had no clue if it had been Monday or Tuesday and even if the earth was flat or round! They had no time to react to any of the tactics used or the tortures induced. The Nazis had perfected the act of killing, and it all has to start somewhere.
