The book Night written by Elie Wiesel, is about his and his father’s personal experience in Second World War around 1944 – 1945. The location of the book is set at Nazi German concentration camp at Auschwitz and Buchenwald. In this short novel of about 100 words Wiesel basically tells about the inhumanity, cruel and torturous behaviour of Nazi Germans towards Jewish people.
The writing is personal, and is in first person. In the whole book, author keeps on relating the autobiographical events from his own point of view. Occasionally he provides an anecdote from many years after the action of the book.

He get to know about his capability to inflict cruelty on others. Everything that he experienced left a deep impact on his mind about how one human can treat another with such brutality.
Eliezer’s first experience regarding inhumanity was with the Nazis. Yet when they came to Sighet, they seemed harmless and innocuous. In the book he reaclls, “Our first impressions of the Germans were most reassuring. . . . Their attitude toward their hosts was distant, but polite.”
The experience there had taught the narrator about how cruelty induces cruelty. In times of struggle and war, all the prisoners instead of helping the other, turned against in each other. At one time, Kapo says to Eliezer, “Here, every man has to fight for himself and not think of anyone else. . . . Here, there are no fathers, no brothers, and no friends. Everyone lives and dies for himself alone.” The Kapos actually symbolized how cruelty induces cruelty and how surviving and self-preservation becomes the only goal of the life.
