Night

[Laurence_Fox]

I just got done reading this book and writing a paper on it for my Holocaust class and I must say that it is a depressing book to read but at the same time it illustrates how someone can survive even when the world around them refuses to help them.

Anyone else read this or are reading this?

Discuss. And please keep the discussion Intelligent and respectful.

I read it in my English class last year. Wow, the things you read in that book just makes you realize how good we've got it. The imagery from that book is just.......indescribable. Seriously, since reading Night, I don't complain about a thing. Elie Wiesel is definetly one of the people I have the most respect for.

I read it last year in my 8th grade Lang Arts class. It was really good! It had a powerful way of reaching to even the most disrespectful kids my class. I love the way the author describes the events he went through.

The book is called Night by Elie Wiesel and recounts his experiences in the Nazi extermination camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald.

Today in my Tolerance and Inhumanity class we watched the episode of Oprah where she went with Elie Wiesel to Auschwitz. He speaks so simply you can't help but be amazed by it. One scene where they're looking over a case of children's shoes and he says: 'Listen to these shoes. They are crying.'

The children would have no chance. Right after they got off the trains, they'd walk to the gas chambers with their mothers who would not leave their children behind.
