In Night, Elie Wiesel frequently describes the crematoria, where the bodies of concentration camp prisoners are burnt and where smoke issues continually from the chimney. What effect does this image have on the memoir? It hints that later, American bombers will shatter the chimney. It creates suspense about what will happen to Eliezer. It reinforces the horror of the Nazi Holocaust. It makes Eliezer seem cowardly for not attempting to escape from the camp.
