"Night" by Elie Wiesel

I read this book yesterday after a few weeks of having rekindled my fascination with World War 2.....very powerful account of life in (and surviving) the holocaust.
Suddenly, taking out the rubbish when it's a bit cold outside doesn't seem so bad after all.

Has anyone else read it?

I used to listen through it. I see stories like this. However I do not understand the content. It is a book, can be a mystery, something that I search. Like you. I feel it can be alluring. I will read it immediately

I thought the book was pretty boring, although I didn't read it to be entertained - I read it to be informed. It was an extremely good book (that almost brought me to tears at some points) that truly made you realize how horrible the holocaust was... Now I'm depressed!

I read it in 7th grade with my A.P. English Teacher. We were doing a section about World War II. If you thought this book sucked. God help you. The book was VERY good, the man was very pationate about his story of how he survived the holocaust and what went on during it. I would read it 8903754963290475 more times if i didn't have a memory.

There are more books out there, I read another just after and am trying to borrow a book written by a holocaust survivor who is friends with some customers of mine at work.
He's in his 70's now (a guy called Arek Hirsch) but still organises trips to take people over to visit Auschwitz, doing his bit to keep the whole story alive in people's memories.

I read it after I went to Auschwitz. The imagery is amazing, and the emotional storytelling somehow informs incredibly well.
