In 'Night', when Elie looks into the mirror, he sees a corpse-like reflection that symbolizes the profound changes and losses he has endured during the Holocaust. The look in the eye of the corpse serves as a haunting reminder of the trauma and death surrounding him, emphasizing the importance of memory in honoring those who perished. This moment illustrates that even after liberation, the scars of such experiences remain.
