In the case of Night by Elie Wiesel, I don't think so. The jews resist minor things that mean a lot to them, a lot of sentimental value. Elie Wiesel reveals this type of resistance in this book.
When you think of resistance you think physical resistance. In the book Night the jews are over powered by the Nazi and cant do anything physically to get them out this situation. The jews to little thing to boost up their faith even though the Nazi's try to dehumanize them.
The character who resisted the evil of the Nazi's that I though was important was Elie Wiesel. Elie Wiesel is the author of the book Night who takes us through the times and his horrible experience with the holocaust. At the time of the holocaust, when Elie was taken into a concentration camp he was only 14 years old. He tells us detail by detail what was going on. In my eyes Elie was very confused and didn't know what was going on, he was just following his father.
One day, after coming back from the warehouse where the jews were forced to work, Elie walked in back of a building were he heard noises coming from a little room. He went up and saw a Kapo named Idek with a young girl, half naked on a mattress. For some reason Elie didn't run and because of that he was caught. The kapo grabbed Elie by the throat and threatened him. After his encounter with Idek he went back to work which ended half an hour earlier. It was time for roll call. Another Kapo gave a short speech and then called for Elie. He order Elie to lie down on a box. After Elie obeyed his orders he felt nothing else but the strakes of the whip which the kapo was holding. The way Elie resisted the Nazi was by nit cry or giving in.
I think Elie resisted because he wanted to show everybody watching including his father that he wasn't weak. This didn't effect him Elie had to prove to himself that he can over power the Nazi's mentally. After all this time being treated like animals, Elie had to stand up for his fellow jews and give a message to the Nazi's: and that message was they were all strong mentally.
