Synopsis

Born into a Jewish ghetto in Hungary, as a child, Elie Wiesel was sent to the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald. This is his account of that atrocity: the ever-increasing horrors he endured, the loss of his family and his struggle to survive in a world that stripped him of humanity, dignity and faith. Describing in simple terms the tragic murder of a people from a survivor's perspective, Night is among the most personal, intimate and poignant of all accounts of the Holocaust. A compelling consideration of the darkest side of human nature and the enduring power of hope, it remains one of the most important works of the twentieth century.

Reviewer: Del Conboy

'This should be read by everybody. To say it is brilliant, or amazing seems to distract you from the subject matter but it is both of those. I havent read a great deal in teh past but reading this book has made me realise that I MUST read a lot more. There are so many amazing peices of literature out there, this being one of them, and it is now my goal to read a lot more of them. Thank you to Wikipedia for bring this book to my attention and to Penguin Classics for making it available for me to read. '
