During Elies time in all the concentration camps he had been to, he slowly last his faith in God. He feels as if God has left them to suffer or in other words, turned His back on them. His faith in God seemed to burn with the children who were tossed into the flames. "For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I santify His name? The Almighty, the terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank Him for?"

Elie has two central internal conflicts: one is with God, and the other is with his father. At the beginning of  nigh , Elie is seriously studying the Talmud, putting specific focus on the mysticism of the Jewish faith. Elie's father is not only a devout Jew, he is a person to whom people come for advice. Elie's faith is not only a comfort to him, it connects him with not only his father, but the people of his community. He takes tremendous pride in his studies, which is why the horror of seeing his fellow Jews being systematically exterminated by the Nazis makes him question the very existence of God. He cannot understand why God would let such atrocities happen to the Bible's chosen people. This crisis hits Elie particularly hard when he sees the young blond "angel" hanged in the concentration camp. The other conflict is with his father. While Elie loves his father unconditionally, the situations at the concentration camps become overwhelming for him. Once his father gets weak, Elie tries very hard to help him survive, but the task becomes too hard. The internal conflict comes to a head when he sees his father being beaten, and Elie feels nothing but anger that his father can't march according to orders. The ultimate crisis is when Elie is thinking that it would be better if his father died, so Elie wouldn't have to worry about him anymore.
