I was nothing but ashes now, but I felt myself to be stronger than this Almighty to whom my life had been bound for so long…” (68).

Night by Elie Wiesel tells the incredible story of a young Jewish boy and his father trying to survive the Nazi Concentration camps. Night is a narrative about Elie’s time in Auschwitz, Buna, and Buchenwald. I believe that Night is a must read for people of all ages.
