Ellie's Review
Wow, this is an incredible account of Elie Wiesel's time in concentration camps as a teenager. It's a must read. I haven't read the other books in his series (Dawn and Day), but I should.
Book SummaryA terrifying account of the Nazi death camp horror that turns a young Jewish boy into an agonized witness to the death of his family...the death of his innocence...and the death of his God. Penetrating and powerful, as personal as The Diary Of Anne Frank, Night awakens the shocking memory of evil at its absolute and carries with it the unforgettable message that this horror must never be allowed to happen again.
