Explanation:

Elie Weisel's memoir "Night" recounts his harrowing experiences during the Jewish discrimination under the German Nazi government. This memoir contains a first-person witness account of one of the most heinous crimes ever done in the history of the world.

Elie Weisel narrates his life from before the discrimination starts to after the Holocaust which rendered him even questioning his own existence and belief system in God. The theme or idea of hopelessness and sadness is evident in the scene where Yehiel embraced him while crying. Amidst the throng of people trying to find their loved ones in the crowd after they had been rounded up by the Gestapo. Weisel couldn't understand why Yehiel was crying, for he believed there are more important things to spend one's energy on, other than crying. But Yehiel lamented "Not cry? We’re on the threshold of death. Soon, we shall be inside" which shows a sense of hopelessness and even dread and sadness over their possible future of being exterminated once they are brought to the camps.

i think the life is invaluable.

you can also say immeasurable.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
