Regarding the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel wrote Night, for the sake of showing his readers, that he was, indeed, a rightful candidate to stand up for all of the Jewish people who were tortured and murdered during that gruesome event. To ensure that he would reach his goal, Elie Wiesel used emotional, logical, and ethical appeals.
