Night By: Elie Wiesel

Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my god and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God himself. Never.

For many months, fifteen-year-old Elie tries to ignore the rumors he is hearing. Surely Jews aren't being locked up like prisoners in their own neighborhood. And no soldiers, no matter how brutal, could really execute entire train load of prisoners. Or could they?

When Elie and his family are marched onto a train bound for Auschwitz, he finds out for himself what human beings can do to each other. In this harrowing, personal account of his time in a concentration camp, Elie Wiesel conveys a powerful message about how we relate to each other that pertains as much to the present as it does to the past.

—————————

This book is normally not one I would reach for. It's a historical book about our author and his experience in the internment camps during the holocaust. I am not a big historical person but the actually enjoyed this book.

I liked the fact that Elie does not sugar-coat anything about his experience's, no matter how dark and nerve racking they might be he explains them how they are.

He explains his feelings on how everything is going on which I feel like is a very important part of the story. Because we get a full understanding of why he did what he did.
