Silence

Photo from wellspring1.wordpress.com

Elie is troubled by the silence from God. He wonders why God is remaining silent after millions and millions of his people are dying for their faith in him.

This picture obviously represents silence. The women's hand is being placed on her lips relates to Elie's book in numerous ways. The silence from God, and also the silence from the whole world. When I see this picture after reading the book all I can think about is the termoil each and every Jew had to endure, the cruelty, the beatings, and the hard brutal work, but remain silent.
