Night is a memoir about the author’s experience growing up as a Jewish boy in Eastern Europe and the hardships that he faced in concentration camps during the Nazi’s control of the region. It is a first hand account and the tales that he describes can be quite emotional.

I find it so difficult to read anything about the Holocaust. (I was not able to bring myself to visit Auschwitz when I went to Krakow.) But, I know it is imperative to remember and when I saw that Elie Weisel had written his memoir of his experience, I knew this was the book to read. It is a very thorough examination of his survival through several concentration camps- which may have only happened because he was so driven to save his father.
