Wiesel is an elegant writer who explains the unexpected descent into the kingdom of night. The beginnings of his story mirrors some of the atrocities that Jewish people face now- the indifference, the demonization, and the fear. Throughout his experience, he comes face to face with death several times over until the desensitization took over. I was swept away by how he told of the primitive being he became and the shame he felt for it- but how else can one behave when violence and death replace every hope of humanity?
I feel this pain deep in my blood as my own family members were paraded from one concentration camp to another and I dread the thought that they went through a similar experience. Wiesel provides a personal story that is the story of so many others and I urge people of all backgrounds to read it and learn just how easy it is to be oblivious and ignorant in the face of evil.
“Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed....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.” -Elie Wiesel
