How do we recover from tragedy?

In the short story “The Watch” by Elie Wiesel, the author finds a way to recover from the tragedy of the Holocaust. He starts imagining Jewish practices; “I thought I heard the chanting of school boys studying Talmud”(pg3) giving him the thought that its not gone, that the Jewish religion has survived the Holocaust and will still continue on in history. He wants to forget about his experiences; “I tell myself that probably I simply wanted to leave behind me, underneath the silent soil.”(pg3). The author has started to recover from such a horrible experience by putting it behind him and burying his feelings so he can start new.
