Summary

Born in the town of Sighet， Transylvania， Elie Wiesel was a teenager when he and his family were taken from their home in 1944 to Auschwitz concentration camp， and then to Buchenwald。 Night is the terrifying record of Elie Wiesel's memories of the death of his family， the death of his own innocence， and his despair as a deeply observant Jew confronting the absolute evil of man。 This new translation by his wife and most frequent translator， Marion Wiesel， corrects important details and presents the most accurate rendering in English of Elie Wiesel's testimony to what happened in the camps and of his unforgettable message that this horror must simply never be allowed to happen again。

Não quero falar do livro， não quero pensar na sua qualidade， nem nas suas estrelas。 É um documento， não é uma obra de entretenimento。 Apesar de ligeiramente romanceado， o autor descreve a sua passagem pelos campos de concentração nazis em 1944。 Romanceado porque é o resultado， muitíssimo sintetizado， de uma torrente descritiva em 900 páginas escritas 10 anos depois dos eventos e publicadas em 1956。Nestas páginas vemos uma criança de 15 anos dar conta de uma enorme força interior， vontade de vive Não quero falar do livro， não quero pensar na sua qualidade， nem nas suas estrelas。 É um documento， não é uma obra de entretenimento。 Apesar de ligeiramente romanceado， o autor descreve a sua passagem pelos campos de concentração nazis em 1944。 Romanceado porque é o resultado， muitíssimo sintetizado， de uma torrente descritiva em 900 páginas escritas 10 anos depois dos eventos e publicadas em 1956。Nestas páginas vemos uma criança de 15 anos dar conta de uma enorme força interior， vontade de viver， aquela que lhe permitiu sobreviver。Essa força acompanhou-o até à morte em 2016; tendo pelo meio chegado a professor da Universidade de Boston; sido um dos principais impulsionadores do Museu de Memorial do Holocausto em Washington; tornado-se num ativista internacional lutando pelos oprimidos em vários continentes; pelo que em 1986 receberia o Nobel da Paz， além de dezenas de outros prémios， distinções e reconhecimentos até à sua morte。 。。。more

I read this book in school and although nonfiction books aren’t really my favorite- this book was very impactful due to the fact that Elie Wiesel describes his own experiences from concentration camp to concentration camp。

Heather ，

idk what to rate this - it was really sad and mostly just one person's account of essentially losing their faith in humanity after witnessing and living through the holocaust。 idk what to rate this - it was really sad and mostly just one person's account of essentially losing their faith in humanity after witnessing and living through the holocaust。 。。。more

Ashley Victorian ，

It was amazing and showed the raw feeling of Ellie during the Holocaust and his time in the concentration camps。

Aisling Kelly ，

THIS BOOK IS AMAZING OMG。 This book is probably one of the most heartbreaking books I have ever read， and it just felt like such a personal book and it really is so amazing。

Ari Collins ，

One of my favorite required reads。 Brings up so much thought and discussion and tells a story from an extraordinary point of view。

Alex Holton ，

An amazing book， Elie Wiesel spares no detail retelling his experiences。 Truly an amazing and eye opening book。

Courtney Nyström ，

Absolutely heartbreaking but a fantastic book。 I reread this book every few years。

Macy Markewich ，

Great writing of such a horrible story， really puts it in perspective when reading about the tragic events from a young boys POV

I suppose in hindsight I shouldn't have read this on the day Dandrews announced the lockdown extension because now i'm sad x1000 I suppose in hindsight I shouldn't have read this on the day Dandrews announced the lockdown extension because now i'm sad x1000 。。。more

i read this book for school and it was very emotional and good

Holly ，

I read this book years ago in school and remember how deeply it affected me。 When my son brought it home as a reading assignment for school I decided to read it again in order to have conversation with him。 Wiesel uses words and the absence of words to help express the horrors that a generation of people experienced。 I am thankful he had the courage to write about his experiences so that we could learn from them and be aware so that we might never have to endure such horrors again。

Dean Kephart ，

If you want to get a factual and honest account of what it was like to live through the Holocaust。 This is riveting and a terrible display of human evil。

Jill Hallenbeck ，

haunting

Rana ，

I can’t even fathom this book or put it into words。 The saddest book I’ve ever read。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I do not know how I feel about this book。 On one side you have a harrowing account of one man's experience of the Holocaust。 Within the book， the author explains that this has been written to fight those that deny the existence of the Holocaust， to make sure that it is never forgotten and therefore， never repeated。 This book should be read and it should be forever remembered， spoken about and taught。 I cannot be annoyed at the author for how this has been written。 It is an account of the worst t I do not know how I feel about this book。 On one side you have a harrowing account of one man's experience of the Holocaust。 Within the book， the author explains that this has been written to fight those that deny the existence of the Holocaust， to make sure that it is never forgotten and therefore， never repeated。 This book should be read and it should be forever remembered， spoken about and taught。 I cannot be annoyed at the author for how this has been written。 It is an account of the worst time of his life， to be able to write about it and to relive those memories is a heroic act in itself。 However， I finished this book wanting so much more information。 I feel like this is a very on the surface account of what actually happened。 The basic details are told but the real depth and horrors are hidden within his words。 There are some stomach churning moments， but as a reader， you know that what he actually experienced was so much worse than what has been said on the page。 To be able to even comprehend what those people went through， sometimes you need more detail， but you also understand why it is not there。 A memory that has been pushed back so far in ones mind， to protect itself from having to relive it。 I found it so interesting that E。Wiesel questioned his faith because what person wouldn't in that situation， but it would have been so interesting to know of he kept his faith after。 Why were we told about a later meeting with the French worker but not anything about his surviving sisters？ Were they reunited soon after or was it a quest to find them？ Does he have regrets about not staying in the hospital knowing what happened to those that stayed？ To know that if he made that choice， his father may still be alive。 I have so many questions after reading this book that will never be answered。 。。。more

This is a deeply important book， written by a brave man， of a first-hand account of Holocaust atrocities that are difficult to comprehend but necessary to be aware of and to grieve。 Such evil and loss and horror and tragedy。 And such a personal and vulnerable telling。 As a person of faith， I was particularly struck by the tragedy of what Francois Mauriac describes as “the death of God in the soul of a child who suddenly faces absolute evil。” I can only imagine… I’d like to read the rest of the t This is a deeply important book， written by a brave man， of a first-hand account of Holocaust atrocities that are difficult to comprehend but necessary to be aware of and to grieve。 Such evil and loss and horror and tragedy。 And such a personal and vulnerable telling。 As a person of faith， I was particularly struck by the tragedy of what Francois Mauriac describes as “the death of God in the soul of a child who suddenly faces absolute evil。” I can only imagine… I’d like to read the rest of the trilogy to see if there is more about Elie Weisel’s journey and how he lived on after such a horrific experience。 。。。more

school read lol

haunting and dark

Paula Loveday ，

How does this happen？

Jasmin Lemus ，

such a powerful memoir！

Rebecca Simeone ，

Should be required reading for all humans。 I’m stunned - probably the most poignant book I’ve ever read all in 120 pages。

Priscilla ，

A short， but necessary read。

Kahlen ，

I had to read this for school and let’s say I’m not disappointed。 This book was touching and sad and the amount of pain this boy went through is terrible。 I recommend this book to everyone

Ella ，

This book is amazing， yet dreadful due to the events Wiesel went through。 Although I have never read any other books by this author， I completely agree with him saying that if he had to write one book that this should be it。 Before I started reading it others said it was a slow book， yet I disagree。 I read this for school but it is very similar to the books I read on my own so that could explain why I didn’t find it slow。 This book really helps the reader understand Wiesel’s experiences。

Luz ，

Interesting book but hard to read because it contains so much violence。 However， should be read by everyone， at least once。

Zach Darr-Rodriguez ，

I cried。

Isabella ，

This book was amazing and very detailed。 It was heartbreaking and very eye opening。

This is a true story of the author’s time in the concentration/ death camps run by the Nazis during WWII …。。from his forced evacuation from his home， at age 15， with his family， to when he was saved from the crematorium by the Russians invading， a year later。This is a horrifying， terrifying and extremely sad account of his time in the camps。 It’s a story that leaves you with scars in your memory that will never go away。 I experienced this before， at the Holocaust Museum in Washington， DC， where This is a true story of the author’s time in the concentration/ death camps run by the Nazis during WWII …。。from his forced evacuation from his home， at age 15， with his family， to when he was saved from the crematorium by the Russians invading， a year later。This is a horrifying， terrifying and extremely sad account of his time in the camps。 It’s a story that leaves you with scars in your memory that will never go away。 I experienced this before， at the Holocaust Museum in Washington， DC， where what I saw， heard， read and felt in that museum， still haunts me today and always will。 So read this and learn the facts， but be prepared for how it will be with you forever。 It is necessary to know what atrocities were done to the Jewish people so we can stand up and never let this happen to any human ever again。I would have given this book 5 stars， but i was upset that it ended so abruptly and I really wanted the author to tell me a little more of how his life went on after his liberation。 This is a very short read， so I believe every person in this world needs to read it and do all he/she can to make sure we will never read about or witness such horrific， inhuman events ever again！ 。。。more
