In Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's memoir Night, a scholarly, pious teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust and the genocidal campaign that consumed his family. His memories of the nightmare world of the death camps present him with an intolerable question: how can the God he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves. It marks the crucial first step in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died.

Der Autor über sein Buch
I am the author of Night.
This is a very touching book that I wrote to explain to the people of the world that the Holocaust should never happen again. I consider myself the "messenger" to let people know the horrors that occured during the time of the holocaust. I really hope that you enjoy my book. Thank You. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Elie's memory of his place during the holicost, captured my heart. His ordel was so frightenly real. The way that the true beast comes out in every man who has to battle for there lives. Elie should be comended for his ability to potray his experiences on paper and show how it was such a horrible and unbearable time, something we should never forget for our own sake (for our future). "The death of his innocence". A huge FIVE STARS for Elie's true life story and his courage to share it with us. A truley unforgettable book, I was not able to put it down!

I've tried to think about how I wanted to review this account of a fifteen year old boy's suffering in several concentration camps during the last six months of WWII. I was shocked as I have always been since I first learned about the holocaust when I was about ten years of age. No matter how many articles, books, or movies that have revealed this experience, I find it impossible to comprehend the behavior of the the German Gestapo, SS, and so many soldiers, doctors, and others. In this volume, Mr. Weisel tells the reader that after months and months of near starvation, some of the guards throw pieces of bread into one of the "cattle" cars that holds people that are dying from the cold, starvation, dysentary, etc. The guards were entertained, and laughed as if watching a slap stick comedy, while these tortured people were fighting each other, some to the death, for a piece of bread to chew. Some of the previous reviewers commented that they could not fight other prisoners for food, let alone a "loved" one. I am grateful I've never had to find out what I would be like if I had been so brutually exploited. I hope that I could "rise" above it, but there is no way I could ever begin to know without the experience. It isn't something I want to think about. But I can think about the importance of the people who survived and the importance of their writings, the survivors who have chosen to do so. I have read some reviews of this book which "compare" this account with others. "This one" was better because of... That one was more...." I don't know how a reader can compare one person's suffering in a concentration camp with another. My belief is it is another story that needs to be shared. They all suffered; they were all brutalized. I personally don't think one is better than the other. Just true. This account is extremely vivid. As a mother, I am most grateful that I have never had to experience such horrors with my child. But brutality is happening to mothers' children everyday, right now, as I write.

This personal account of the holocaust by Elie Wiesel's book is a horrifying story of the Nazi death camps. The author tells the story in a simple manner, yet it is easy for a reader to end up feeling haunted by the accounts in "Night". It stirs sadness and profound questions in the bosom of a reader. The lessons from this book about the evil side of fallen human nature and the faith, courage and moral strength to fight the evil must never be forgotten. I recommend this book to any reader interested in the holocaust and the specter of mass killings plaguing the world today.
Also recommended are: SURVIVAL IN AUSCHWITZ, DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE
