Humanity tears into each other; the booming noise of war silences children’s screams. German's boots thud across the world terror and death in their wake. Their horrors carved into the depths of human history.

According to Vanderwerken, the father will help the son make the transition from “dependence to independence” but in Night the “...roles are completely reversed; the son becomes the parent” (Vanderwerken 64).
