An autobiographical narrative, in which the author describes his experiences in Nazi concentration camps.
In Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's memoir Night, a scholarly, pious teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust and the genocidal campaign that consumed his family. His memories of the nightmare world of the death camps present him with an intolerable question: how can the God he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves. It marks the crucial first step in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died.

Powerful!:
THis book was very powerful and moving while at the same time disturbing. I had my children read it. I want them to really understand what took place during the Holocaust and to see the resilence of people. This should be required reading in history class.
pretty good book:
The beginning of this book bored me so it took me about 1 1/2 hours to read the first chapter. I was surprised that Elie described everything with lots of detail. It also surprised how brutal people were during the Holocaust. In the end I thought this was a pretty good book and would recommend it to anyone willing to learn a lot about the Holocaust.
Elie Wiesel:
This book was very enlighting. More people should this and his other books so that what happened to these people would never happen again.

Also, I have not yet heard anything regarding my a to z claim. I mentioned before that I need the book not the return of the money. If you could just get socrates... more info
