Photo From: infoniac
This photo helps explain Eliezer's struggle to keep his faith in god after everything that happens to everyone in the concentration camp.  Before his family and everyone is sent to the camps the book shows him having a great amount of faith in god.  He could never picture living without his faith in god. After they are taken away his faith it tested.  He wonders why if god is so great why he lets this happen to them.  He sees the selfishness, cruelty, and evil there is in everyone even himself.  He sees the world as being disgusting and thinks maybe god is disgusting or doesn't even exists.  But Eli doesn't lose all his faith he sometimes asks about good and evil and if god exists.  Just asking that shows that he still has some faith that maybe god does exists.
