How do you review the horrible experience of a Nazi concentration camp survivor? I tried imagining myself in his place, both in camp and after being liberated, and it would be hard to remember the details, let alone face them and write out the story. It's a quick read and I think more of us should be aware of the atrocities that happened. ( ![]() A memoir of a Holocaust survivor. Powerful and important. This is a record of Elie Wiesel's personal memories of his time as a teenager in Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. "Night" portrays the horror and grief so many people endured throughout World War II. Elie also urges readers throughout to remember what happens so it is never allowed to happen again. A heartbreaking story that all readers should hear. I'll suggest to every reader I know that this book should be in their hands.
[Wiesel's] slim volume of terrifying power is the documentary of a boy - himself- who survived the "Night" that destroyed his parents and baby sister, but lost his God. Is contained inHas as a reference guide/companionHas as a studyHas as a commentary on the textHas as a student's study guide
Night offers a personal and unforgettable account of the appalling horrors of Hitler's reign of terror. Through the eyes of 14-year-old Eliezer, we behold the tragic fate of the Jews from the little town of Sighet. Even as they are stuffed into cattle cars bound for Auschwitz, the townspeople refuse to believe rumors of anti-Semitic atrocities. Not until they are marched toward the blazing crematory at the camp's "reception center" does the terrible truth sink in. No library descriptions found.
