Elie Wiesel’s Night is an autobiography on his survival as a teenager in the Nazi torture camps. Night starts when Elie is twelve years old and living in a small town called Sighet in Transylvania (now located in modern-day Romania) with his family. Which consisted of his parents and his three sisters, which is all that mattered to him. One day, a Jewish Sighet named Moshe the Beadle, comes into town to warn everyone of the impending danger of the German army and of their ruler. Unfortunately warnings about the Germans intentions towards them was not taken seriously, and Elie’s family, and the rest of the town, missed their chance to flee the country.

Throughout the book, Wiesel adds imagery about the surroundings. When his friend Juliek died, Wiesel added that “even today, when [he] hear that particular piece of Beethoven, [his] eyes close and out of the darkness emerges the pale and melancholy face of [his] Polish comrade bidding farewell to an audience of dying men” (Wiesel, p.95). His thoughts are added to provide a dramatic effect to the whole situation. Apart from that, he tackles his thoughts on several topics, especially in religion. He talks about how God has forsaken him, and how he almost quit worshipping his

In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, gives a backstory to what happened to his family and all the Jews that were taken to the concentration camp during Hitler’s reign in Germany; Wiesel’s story begins in 1944 when they were deported to the concentration camps to Auschwitz. As Wiesel’s story develops throughout the book we see a young Eliezer go from child to maturing in to a young man and taking care of his father when he becomes gravely ill.

The Holocaust was a gruesome time for the world. When Hitler and the Nazi army seized control of Germany in 1933 and persuaded the Germans that the Jews were the problem, there were 566,000 Jews currently living in Germany. In 1933 the First concentration camps are built, and in 1934 Hitler becomes the Der Fuherer and receives a ninety percent approval rating from the people. Auschwitz was the first camp established near Oswiecim. Construction began in April 1940 in an abandoned Polish army barracks in a suburb of the city. SS authorities continuously used prisoners for forced labor to expand the camp. This camp will act as one of the biggest bridges between the two books.

When the Jews were marching to the burners, many of them began to recite the prayer of the dead, “For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank Him for?” (33). This is important because this is when Elie question his faith with God, and he loses his spiritual innocence and begins to experience trials that God placed in front of him.

What would an individual do if their entire life was being stripped from them? Well, that’s exactly what Elie Wiesel had to figure out throughout the book, Night.

The Wiesels get taken to a concentration camp just because they are Jewish. Elie Wiesel had to overcome facing death and hardships just to barely survive another day.

The Old Testament is full of passages with encouraging words and wisdom. These motivating verses would have provided substantial strength to support Eliezer in the concentration camp in the novel Night. To get him through his time in camp, Eliezer should have remembered studying Psalms when he found no purpose in praising God, Numbers when he found nobody to trust, and Habakkuk when he found his injured foot slowing him down.

In the book “night” written by Elie Wiesel, the reader is able to catch a glimpse of the holocaust and how it dangerously impacted not only the Jewish, but the whole world. Written for everyone and anyone, “Night” is an emotionally draining book designed to help the reader understand just how devastating the holocaust was.

Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night is based on his experiences in the German concentration camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald during the Second World War. Having grown up an Orthodox Jew in the Hungarian village of Sighet, Wiesel and his family was deported to Auschwitz in 1944 where his mother and youngest sister were immediately sent to the gas chambers. While both his older sisters survived, his father, with whom Wiesel had fought to survive the labor camps, died shortly before the war ended. Night tells the horror stories of the Holocaust through the eyes of the fifteen-year old Wiesel who recounts the loss of his innocence, his faith in God, his sense of time and his sense of self. Night describes how the Nazis dehumanized the Jews at every stage through the war years. And in the process, they lost their own sense of humanity.

The freedom fighter Nelson Mandela once said, “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” After the memorable attacks in New York, London, and Madrid, the West became a unwelcoming and hostile place for Muslims, and the world started to be known as the “Islamic World” and “The West”. The Islamic world as in the picture is a place where men oppress women, a place vicious to technological advancements and a place where Muslim children are raised with the thought that the west is an unfavorable place for them. The “West” however

"Never shall I forget that night the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed," -Elie Wiesel, Night. This quote is one of the quotes from Elie Wiesel's book Night that refers to the title of the book. The title of the book is called Night for reasons such as the fact that the first night was what changed his life, it symbolizes the darkness that encased all of their souls, and it also symbolizes how dark and evil the world was. The title Night has a stronger meaning than what it seems.

"This is a humbling and deeply disturbing subject for anyone who approaches it, yet we have to learn the history of the Holocaust, to know it as best we can. Remembering the Holocaust and understanding how it came about is part of making sure it never happens ag

Imagine a dark, crowded place full of despair where you are almost always undergoing forced labor, waiting to die, with no way out. This is the experience Elie Wiesel wrote about in his famous book, Night. I have doubts that most people in the world could even begin to express all the pain that must bring them.
