Night is a book written by a former Holocaust prisoner named Elie Weisel. It talks about his experience in during the Holocaust, his dreams, and his hopes for his future, if he was able to survive. Wiesel and his family were sent to concentration camps when the Germans started to take over. When they were sent to the camps, his family was separated. His mother and his sisters went with all the women and children while him and his father went with the men. The men were the ones who had to do most of the work. The ways they had to travel from place to place were unbearable, from blistering cold winters to scortching hot summers. Only getting around ½ to 1 meals a day, starvation starts to affect his strength. As years go by in the concentration camps; Wiesel watches the death toll rise to millions, including his own family.
Quotes:
“That night the soup tasted like corpses”
"The yellow star? Oh well, what of it? You don't die of it."
"Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed."
"I did not deny God's existence, but I doubted His absolute justice."
Whenever I dreamed of a better world, I could only imagine a universe with no bells."
"How could I forget that concert, given to an audience of dying and dead men!"
