In school, we have read a few books regarding the Holocaust, but none hit me quite as hard as Night. I actually winded up buying my own copy of the book. If you haven't read it in school, then I highly recommend you read it yourself.

Elie Wiesel's "Night" is a first-hand account of the atrocities committed at the death camp of Auschwitz by the Nazis. I can only say, ineffectually, that I am so sorry for what these poor souls endured. I have read your names and your stories and I remember you.

This is a book that some of our freshman Comm. Arts classes teacher and it has been in my TBR pile for a long time. I'm glad that I finally read it but it was really sad (didn't have me crying) just because it was so raw and scary because it was a true story that the author experienced. It just amazes me every time I read a book that has a setting during the Holocaust of how evil people were and how they treated others.

I'm glad that I listened to it because I think it made the story more authentic but I didn't particularly like the narrator. I think this is a book that students should read and be aware of even though it is kind of graphic.

This book is hard to read. There were several instances when I found myself unable to keep reading because my eyes had filled up with tears. And it's not just sad, it's absolutely terrifying. What really stuck with me was their disbelief that something like that was allowed to happen to them and their hope that someone was bound to do something. It was the 20th century after all.

Short and heartbreaking read of the Holocaust experience.
