Summary: A haunting view of Auschwitz
Comment: Though not Jewish, I found this book hard to put down. We should be ashamed of the way we treat
other human beings. Mr. Wiesel, has written his account of the time he spent in Auschwitz, and it
is not pretty, but a must read book. Mr. Wiesel was recently attacked in San Francisco!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable!

Summary: A must read.
Comment: I'm not sure I enjoyed this book, it was very troubling to read. You hate to think anybody ever had
to go through what these people did. But it is important for everyone to know and I recomend this
book.

/>

Imagine how scary it would be to be taken from your home and put into slaughter
camps watching people die. Well this happened to Elie Wiesel. In the book Night, Elie Wiesel tells
his story of being a Jewish kid back in World War II when the Nazis took over France, Poland and
other countries, and his town.
He is a young boy in Sighet in Transylvania. He is just a
young teenager when he is taken from his home. He and his family are captured and put into a
concentration camp called Auschwitz. He is split up from his mom and sisters and put into different
cells and moved all around with his father.
The future doesn't look too bright for most of
his friends and family, but there is still a small light that shines for him. It is a frightening
book on how he lost his family and how he witnessed the persecution of most of his people. To find
out what happens to him you have to read the book. Pr34

Summary: Andy's Review
Comment:

This book was written amazingly well, but it switched big periods of time which made
it very difficult to get into. But in between these switches, it was a pretty good book.
/> This book's about a Jewish boy in his teenage years named Elie. It takes place when the Holocaust
was at it's worst. This book brings you through those moments through the frightening eyes of Elie
Wiesel in Night.

This book tells about the true horrors of the Holocaust. If you can't
easily handle death in books then this book is truly not for you. It also jumps time both forward
and backwards which makes it harder to follow than most books. But besides that it's not that
challenging but it also is not to easy.

Summary: Putting a human face on inhuman suffering
Comment: Before I read Night, the holocaust was a distant, terrible thing that I never wanted to think about.
Elie Wiesel's story makes the events of something that happened sixty years ago come alive, whether
we would like them to or not. We see the terrible world of the Nazis and their concentration camps
firsthand; I have read several holocaust books but none of them have been as powerful as Night. The
ending sentence, more than anything else, clarifies the search for God that Elie experiences in
Auschwitz, Birkenau and his life afterwards.
