This picture shows how Elie is struggling with his faith. He wants to believe but just can't and that upsets him. The nakedness show how everyone is the same in with the faith. He said in the book how everyone is the same when they are naked and in a way they are always naked when it come to faith.

The faith in this book through out the book changes greatly. In the beginning his faith is very strong and definite. He thought since God was every where then every where must be good. But once he went to the camps he started to fade with this faith little by little. Once he was their the more it went a way and he did not even think about it. Even when some one so powerful asked to have a sermon when they seen the smoke he forgot. If someone would have asked him earlier in the book there would of been a sermon for him.
