We just finished reading Night by:Elie Wiesel. I loved it! I think that we are so used to hearing facts about the Holocaust but this book tells and shows us the emotions. It's a really short read and once you start you will not be able to stop. Elie Wiesel is an amazing writer and the topic he's writing about is heart wrenching. Here is the summary on the back of the book:
Born in the town of Sighet, Transylvania, Elie Wiesel was a teenager when he and his family were taken from their home in 1944 to the Auschwitz concentration camp, and then to Buchenwald. NIGHT is the terrifying record of Elie Wiesel's memories of the death of his family, the death of his own innocence, and his despair as a deeply observant Jew confronting the absolute evil of man. This new translation by his wife and most frequent translator, Marion Wiesel, corrects important details and presents the most accurate rendering in English of Elie Wiesel's testimony to what happened in the camps and of his unforgettable message that this horror must never be allowed to happen again.
This book is amazing! Read it! You'll be glad you did.
