In chapter 5, page 59, one of the prisoner's said, "I've got more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He's the only one who's kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people."This shows how much of the Jewish people have changed their beliefs and religion and began to rely on something else. Causing Ellie to question his own.

In chapter 3, page 25-26, Ellie says, "Never shall I forget those mometns which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust."This evidence shows how Ellie's faith has been destroyed and his belief in the benevolent God is getting smaller.
