Answer :
Answer/Explanation:
In Elie Wiesel's *Night*, Juliek had defied the Nazis most poignantly and symbolically before he succumbed to death. Being a fellow prisoner in the concentration camp, he plays a violin amidst the despair of their surroundings. Tired from a very long march, the prisoners are forced into barracks. Juliek pulled out his violin then and began to play a haunting piece of music. This is a tremendous act of defiance, in the sense of a reclaiming of his humanity and spirit in the midst of such brutal oppression.
Juliek's playing is a kind of resistance to the dehumanizing perpetrated by the Nazis, who had taken away their identities and turned them into numbers. His playing insists on his self and his culture. The beauty of the music is in direct opposition to the horror of their reality; this, for an instant, is emotional reprieve.
Finally, Juliek gives in to exhaustion and to the cruelty of the camp, and his last act is one of defiance that continues to echo loudly. He dies, leaving behind a memory of resistance and the eternal spirit of man in inhuman suffering. His music meant hope and identity no matter what.
