This was a depressing book, but a great story that gave the reader a good look into the true ways of the holocaust. Telling his own true story, Ellie Wiesel's words bring both tears and understanding to me. I am glad that I read this book, for I better understand the brutality and hardships that the jewish people under-went.

I remember: it happened yesterday, or eternities ago. A young Jewish boy discovered the Kingdom of Night. I remember his bewilderment, I remember his anguish. It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed...
And now the boy is turning to me. "Tell me," he asks, "what have you done with my future, what have you done with your life?"
- Elie Wiesel, during his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, December 10, 1986
Elie Wiesel goes beyond creating a portrait of the concentration camps and the hell he endured there; he has written a warning: forgetting is dangerous. The oppression of one concerns the souls of all.

A short read, but worth reading. Every story of survival from the Holocaust amazes me, no matter how many I read.
