“Those who do not know history are destined to repeat it.” This was said by Edmund Burke. This quote strongly applies to the Holocaust. The Holocaust is a huge part of our history, and we should teach students about it so they are aware of the past mistakes.

Alycia Grant Rough Draft: The book "Night by Elie Wiesel was the most interesting book that I have ever read. It conveyed very well what had occurred during the Holocaust. Reading this book made me feel the emotions, and stress involved with him being in this situation. The writing was descriptive, but not too much so that it was boring. The writing in this story painted a vivid picture in my mind. No matter where he was, I had a good idea of how his environment appeared in his mind. He described well what he felt, heard, smelled, tasted, and seen. This made me like the book much more, and it helped me better understand how horrible and traumatic this event really was. Elie Wiesel is a strong person in my opinion for being able to go through what he did, and then write about exactly what happened, in deep detail, afterwards.

Traumatic and scarring events occur on a daily basis; from house fires to war, these memories are almost impossible to forget.

The Holocaust is over and has been for about sixty years, so why are we still talking about it? Why is it still relevant in our world today?

No, Hitler is no longer killing millions of innocent men, women, and children, but we are still just still just as cruel only in different ways.

Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.” The repetition of the phrase “Never shall I forget” really emphasises on and illustrated that what Wiesel is describing will be engraved in his memory forever, that it is impossible to forget. I also think that he wants to spread the word about what happened in the holocaust, raise awareness and make sure that nothing even remotely like it ever happens again.
