Night is a horrific reality written by Elie Wiesel.
A masterpiece, it is one of the most horrifying memoirs ever written. It’s an autobiography written by Elie himself which makes you imagine his past in World War 2 so vividly. Night is a book that won't let anyone forget about this ugly past.

Eliezer, the main character was a very observant boy who was also very dependant on his parents. He was only 15 years old when the Nazis came for 15,000 Jews who lived in his hometown of Sighet, Transylvania, in 1944. Auschwitz is the name of a death concentration camp where 1 million Jews were held captive including Eliezer and his family.
Within minutes of arrival, Eliezer’s mother and his

Eliezer was just a teenager that had to deal with the emotional pain of his father's death. The unimaginable hell Eliezer had to go through was insane. No human should have gone through what Eliezer and 11 million other Jews experienced

This experience would have been very difficult for Elie Wiesel to write. I believe that anyone who has been through some sort of trauma or bad experience would find it difficult to write about especially when you have to remember all the horrible stuff that you might have experienced. This book has very short sentences that get straight to the point. There is barely any sentences in the book ‘Night’ that were very detailed. I believe they were short and straight to the point because it would have been difficult to write very detailed sentences that would have been hard for Elie Wiesel to write. “Behind me, an old man fell to the ground. Near him was an SS man, putting his revolver back in its holster”pg 30.
I think the impact this book has is the knowingness and how you know about war, death, destruction and ‘Night’ makes you think about the reality and harshness of this

Night is a book that displays and shows the physical, mental and emotional darkness World War 2 was. Every single person who suffered in the Nazi concentration camps experienced the darkness of life, mind and soul.
That is why it is called Night. This book centers around the hardships Elie Wiesel experienced during his time in the Nazi concentration camp.

Elie Wiesel's ‘Night’ accounts his experience in the Nazi death camp. He has written this book to let the readers visualize a bit of insight to this horrendous time during World War 2 and so he could show the readers what the holocaust was like through a survivor's point of view.
Night is relevant to us today because of the rising power of Donald Trump, terrorism and the racism of Donald Trump trying to get rid of the Mexicans and other immigrants. This is just the beginning before he turns this into his “Final Solution” like Hitler tried but failed to do in World War 2. History may repeat itself unless we, ourselves, take

    Elie Wiesel’s Night teaches about the Holocaust from the perspective of a Jewish boy named Eliezer. Reading and analyzing Night has conveyed points about the Holocaust that differ from topics that I have studied in the past. The main point of my analyzation of Night is the dehumanization of the Nazis’ victims, mainly in concentration camps. Many past Holocaust books and movies that I have studied focus more on the events that happen before the concentration camps, but Night takes place almost entirely in the camps. It helps me to see the Holocaust from a different perspective than the one that I have been seeing it from every year.…

    One of the biggest, life-changing events to happen to Eliezer was the death march when the prisoners had to march from one camp to another.

When the Nazis finally had the prisoners stop running everybody dropped and tried to sleep. Eliezer’s father found him and showed him to this shed where people were sleeping, they decided that they should make a deal: This shows the trust and sacrifice between Eliezer and his father.
