    As the Holocaust worsened and Elie Wiesel's mental state weakened, his relationship with God decreased.

    • Chlomo Wiesel

    • Mrs. Schächter

    Correct Answer
    A. Chlomo Wiesel
    Explanation
    As the Holocaust progressed, Elie Wiesel witnessed and experienced unimaginable horrors, which deeply affected his mental state. This traumatic experience led him to question his faith and ultimately lose his connection with God. Chlomo Wiesel, Elie's father, played a significant role in their shared religious beliefs and practices. However, as Chlomo's health deteriorated and he eventually died in the concentration camp, Elie's last remaining connection to his faith and God was severed, leading to the decrease in his relationship with God.

Kabbalah is a mystical tradition within Judaism that seeks to understand the relationship between God and the universe. It involves studying ancient texts, meditative practices, and seeking spiritual enlightenment. In the face of unimaginable suffering and loss during the Holocaust, Wiesel may have turned to Kabbalah as a source of solace, hope, and a way to make sense of the horrors he was experiencing.
