Elie used to be a devout Jew in his youth. He questions his God and his faith when he beholds the misery he and his people must endure in the death camps. Eli has lost all sense of innocence at this point. He is loosing his faith. How can God forsake such a little angel. Elie wonders if the hanging is the death of his belief as well, the death of hid God. If Jews so devoutly follow a God that could let this happen, they might as well all die the same way, they might as well welcome extinction.
