About the Book: Night
Night by Elie Wiesel provides a short and moving account of Wiesels experience
in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. Elie reflects on the enduring
importance of Night and his lifelong, passionate dedication to ensuring that the
world never forgets mans capacity for inhumanity to man.
Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions,
and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses
many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious
consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is
and will be.
