Search - Night

Books like NIGHT are important and should be a must-read for all high school students. As the years pass, we are losing those who suffered the atrocities of the Holocaust. As painful as it is, we must constantly remind ourselves of the horrors we as humans can inflict on each other in the hopes of preventing it from happening again. With the genocide occurring in Darfur as of this writing, however, it's a lesson we haven't yet learned. Elie Wiesel's is a voice that should be heard and a story that should be remembered.

A chilling and sad, but true story of one man's experiences as a Jewish teenager in the German concentration camps. He writes of his family's long and, for some, fatal journey during this time. Wiesel writes in a beautifully clear, descriptive tone that leaves you feeling a bit of the despair, agony, guilt, and sometimes, relief that he must have felt. A "must" read, in my opinion, along with Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning."

A profound book on the plight of a Jewish boy during WW 2. Very vivid and well written. One of the best descriptions of day to day activities in an Nazi prision camp.

powerful moving book that everyone should read and as such not forget.

A great first-hand account of the horrors of being sent to a concentration camp as a very young man. Really opened my eyes to the sheer numbers of people who suffered and died during this terrible time in history.

My emotions are bittersweet. I loved this book but I was so sad for"Elie Wiesel" that he had to go through all the events. That he survived and had the strength to tell his story.

"Night" was a powerful story. Its powerful and not a book to be taken lightly.
