Man’s Inhumanity to Man
The memoir Night captures the horrors of Elie Wiesel, a Jewish Holocaust survivor. In this beautifully crafted, riveting, and unforgettable book, the true meaning behind inhumanity becomes clear as Elie and his father journey from place to place and endure cruelty along the way. The book depicts how awful conditions were and how they had to adapt to their environment to have even the slightest chance of survival.

Fathers did not care to give their children a part of what they could collect, that is if they could collect anything in the first place. It is truly fascinating how far Elie and his father have
