What Members Thought
This is an incredibly hard book to read, simply from an emotional standpoint. It's a short piece, but an amazingly powerful one that should be read by everyone. The writing is blunt and does not shy away from the uncomfortable, presenting a picture of concentration camp life that is harrowing and will put the reader at the same time both disgusted by and amazed by the human spirit. It is a reminder to be vigilant, to not be complacent, and to be watchful of the world around you.

This is a sensitive writing about the author's experiences under Nazi imprisonment. Graphic beyond belief in places, the author's life has been forever changed as nightmares depicting the many atrocities that he viewed invade his sleep. Again and again he asks how could God allow such evil to be committed against any individual be it man, woman or child. Once believing that he would dedicate his life to his religion, Wiesel finds himself unable to pray or believe in God.
