Fire

This picture represents the evil that the whole novel talks about. At the beginning for example, it talks about a women on the train showing visions of fire, giving them an incite of what was to come. Also when they get there they see babies being thrown into a ditch of fire, people being burned alive in the crematorium, people being beaten and shot, and also being put to work with laborious activities with hardly no food or water. Fire also represents God's wrath, but the Nazis turned that around and used it on innocent people, confusing Elie about God's existence even further.
