This book is a true witness account of what happened during the Holocaust to one young boy. I cried. What he witnessed and saw is unbelievable. I don't know that I could be as strong as he was.
I think if everyone read this book, then maybe things would change. History shouldn't be hid, it should be put out there, where hopefully we learn from it and don't repeat it. The way this world is now, I am afraid we are going to repeat some terrible things from our past. I pray we don't.

For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.

The story itself is a dark and honest recount of a boy who survived the holocaust and it shows the progression of his lost of hope, faith and even humanity. By his own admission, by the end when his
The book is beautifully written, with phrases that I will never forget and will probably keep me thinking for years to come. This is thanks to the tremendous skill of his wife, Marion Wiesel, who is the translator of this edition.

This is a heart wrenching, first hand account of what happened to one boy, his family, friends, and neighbours during the holocaust; specifically his time spent in concentration camps, such as Auschwitz. It was incredibly difficult to read/listen to and brought me too tears throughout.
The genocide that took place during the Second World War against the Jewish people needs to be taught, and the the antisemitism that still exists today needs to be stopped. We must not repeat history.
