    <![CDATA[<em>Night</em> is Elie Wiesel's masterpiece, a candid, horrific, and deeply  poignant autobiographical account of his survival as a teenager in the  Nazi death camps. This new translation by Marion Weisel, Elie's wife  and frequent translator, presents this seminal memoir in the language  and spirit truest to the author's original intent.  And in the  substantive new preface, Elie Wiesel reflects on the enduring  importance of <em>Night</em> and his lifelong, passionate dedication to  ensuring that the world never forgets man capacity for inhumanity to  man.    <p><em>Night</em> 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.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>Night</em> is Elie Wiesel's masterpiece, a candid, horrific, and deeply  poignant autobiographical account of his survival as a teenager in the  Nazi death camps. This new translation by Marion Weisel, Elie's wife  and frequent translator, presents this seminal memoir in the language  and spirit truest to the author's original intent.  And in the  substantive new preface, Elie Wiesel reflects on the enduring  importance of <em>Night</em> and his lifelong, passionate dedication to  ensuring that the world never forgets man capacity for inhumanity to  man.    <p><em>Night</em> 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.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[In Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's memoir <em>Night</em>, a scholarly, Orthodox teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust &amp; the genocidal campaign that consumed his family. His memories of the nightmare worlds of Auschwitz-Birkenau &amp; Buchenwald present him with an intolerable question: how can the god he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves. It marks the crucial first step in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died.<br/>Original Yiddish title: Un di Velt Hot Geshvign/And the World Remained Silent<br/>(Buenos Aires, 1955). Revised as La Nuit (1958) &amp; translated as Night (1960).]]>

    <![CDATA[In Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's memoir <em>Night</em>, a scholarly, Orthodox teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust &amp; the genocidal campaign that consumed his family. His memories of the nightmare worlds of Auschwitz-Birkenau &amp; Buchenwald present him with an intolerable question: how can the god he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves. It marks the crucial first step in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died.<br/>Original Yiddish title: Un di Velt Hot Geshvign/And the World Remained Silent<br/>(Buenos Aires, 1955). Revised as La Nuit (1958) &amp; translated as Night (1960).]]>

    <![CDATA[Though technically a novel, <em>Night</em> is also an unmistakably autobiographical depiction of the author's own gruesome experiences in Nazi Germany's death camps.  Told through the eyes of 14-year-old Eliezer, the tragic fate of the Jews from the little town of Sighet unfolds with a heart-wrenching inecitability.  Even as they are stuffed into cattle cars bound for Auschwitz, the townspeople refuse to believe rumors of anti-Semitic atrocities.  Not until they are marched toward the blazing crematory at the camp's &quot;receptions center&quot; does the terrible truth sink in.<br/><br/>Recounting the evils at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, Wiesel's enduring classic of Holocaust literature raises question of continuing significance for all future generations:  How could man commit these horrors, and could such crimes against humanity ever be repeated?<br/><br/>An unabridged production on 4 CDs (4 hours).]]>
