This book explores the Holocaust in a way that I've never seen before. The detail expressed is heartbreaking, and earthshattering, making you want to kiss the ground your reading on. I cannot recommend this book enough, thank you to my sophomore-year high school teacher Mr. Hill for introducing it to me. It was a great read then, and still is now.

Night by Ellie Wiesel is a truly heartbreaking book. I recommend that readers research the holocaust before reading this book and look at trigger warnings. This book explores many themes, such as hope, death, and trusting god in a crisis. It will make you reflect on life and is 100% worth the read. (I also strongly recommend that you read the author's note; it was one of the best parts of the book)

Immensely important book. Doesn't mean it's a fun read, doesn't mean it's written particularly well. It's direct, it's clear, it's in your face about what it wants to say.
