5.0 out of 5 stars Touching, 27 Feb 2005
By Edward Tem (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night (Hardcover)
This personal account of the holocaust by Elie Wiesel's book is a horrifying story of the Nazi death camps. The author tells the story in a simple manner, yet it is easy for a reader to end up feeling haunted by the accounts in "Night". It stirs sadness and profound questions in the bosom of a reader. The lessons from this book about the evil side of fallen human nature and the faith, courage and moral strength to fight the evil must never be forgotten. I recommend this book to any reader interested in the holocaust and the specter of mass killings plaguing the world today.

Also recommended are: SURVIVAL IN AUSCHWITZ, DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE

5.0 out of 5 stars We must never forget., 31 Jul 2007
By maya j "mayapapaya" (Quail Crossing) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night: With Connections (HRW Library) (Hardcover)
`Night' is a poignant, evocative story of a young Elie Wiesel and his father and their experiences in a number of concentration camps during WWII. The translation from French is done beautifully, as it is written in a plain, straightforward manner, and it reads with an eloquence and softness that belies the subject matter. As you read `Night', you find yourself cringing, eyes wide with horror, and it gives you a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach to know that innocent human beings were subjected to physical and emotional pain beyond belief. It is not graphic in the sense that there is too much information, it tells, in its simplicity, the truth of what one person experienced at one time, on this earth. Sixty years later, we believe what history has shown us of these atrocities, yet do we understand? In `Night', Elie Wiesel attempts to make us understand. He talks about Death with a capital "D" and "The Selection" of people for slaughter. His sadness and despair during his incarceration, as well as his alarming indifference to certain things in the name of survival, permeate each page. Finally, we realize that this book is written as a tribute to his father and his father's beliefs that "Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented" and keep the memory alive, "Because if we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices". So Elie Wiesel will not stay silent, and we must never forget.

5.0 out of 5 stars Horrifying yet Compelling, 20 Jan 2009
By Lincs Reader (Lincolnshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night (Mass Market Paperback)
Night is often read in American HIgh School and is translated excellently from it's original French language

It is an autobiographical description of his experience from the time he was evacuated from his home in Czechoslovakia until he was liberated by the Allies from Buchenwald. He describes the process of evacuation, the trip by train to the concentration camp, his experiences immediately upon arriving at the camp, his experiences for the next year whilst in the camp.

Wiesel is an excellent writer and uses language so simply yet very effectively. There is so much horrific detail in this very short book, and his understanding of himself, and his peers in the concentration camp is outstanding.

This is only a short book of just over 100 pages but I was only able to read it in very short bursts as the detail and horror is immense. This is a magnificently written account of a time in history that is so hard for most of us to face up to.
