Description
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 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 simply never be allowed to happen again.

It is insightful on the concentration camps and how they were run, though difficult to read at times. Very short and concise

I read this for class in 7th grade. It made a great impact on me and I still remember segments here and there. Mr. Wiesel came to our library and I missed it. I still regret not going all those years ago.It was a heavy read, and I'm glad he was able to share with us when he did.
