Was Elie Wiesel justified in giving up his faith?

Given the fact that Elie was a dedicated, faithful Jewish boy whose life was transformed by enduring the extremely traumatic, painful experience of being a victim of the Holocaust, one could say that Elie is justified in giving up his faith. Elie is forcibly removed from his home by Nazi soldiers and separated from his mother and sister. Elie then suffers from malnutrition and endures the inhumane conditions inside the cattle cars and concentration camps. He witnesses and experiences the horrific nature of the concentration camps, where men are worked to death and murdered in plain view. Elie continually lives in a state of fear and barely survives each day. Elie compares himself to Job and begins to question why God has allowed him to suffer.In chapter 5, Elie refuses to plead for forgiveness during Rosh Hashanah and says,

I no longer pleaded for anything. I was no longer able to lament. On the contrary, I felt very strong. I was the accuser, God the accused. My eyes had opened and I was alone, terribly alone in a world without God, without man (Wiesel, 93).

Overall, Elie's horrific, traumatizing experience as a victim of the Holocaust results in his loss of faith. In my opinion, any human who has endured such an experience would be justified in giving up their faith.
