Night

Book • 1960

In 'Night', Elie Wiesel narrates his harrowing experiences as a Jewish teenager during the Holocaust.

The book follows Eliezer, a slightly fictionalized version of Wiesel, from his hometown of Sighet in Hungarian Transylvania to various concentration camps, including Auschwitz, Buna, Gleiwitz, and Buchenwald.

It chronicles his struggles with faith, the inhuman conditions of the camps, and the tragic events that unfolded, including the death of his father.

The memoir is a poignant and personal account of the Holocaust, highlighting themes of faith, silence, inhumanity, and the importance of human bonds.
