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 never be allowed to happen again.
This is an extremely somber story about a boy and his father struggling to survive in a world that is now made up of people in their immediate vicinity who have nothing but hate for them. It was hard to read Elie's story at times because of all of the suffering and pain. People were dying and others were giving up because they found that they no longer had the strength to endure any more hardship.
It is an incredibly difficult journey to read about. My only issue was towards the end due to what I felt was a rushed ending. I realize that there is a sequel that continues Elie's story so that may be why I felt that way. Either way it was still an well written book about one man's journey during the Holocaust.
