One of the most important pieces of literature in U.S. history. It is a first hand account of the horrors of the Holocaust and the atrocities of the Nazi party.

There is courage in Wiesel’s words. He recounts, with honesty, trauma after trauma that most readers could never dream of. This book is an essential artifact in remembering our history and never allowing it to happen again.

"And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

It's a first hand account of the Holocaust. It's going to tell it like it was in all its brutality. I say it's important to read no matter what the trigger warnings are.

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)

It's an unbelievably dark tale told that feels like it belongs in horror fiction when you describe it or think about it, and yet it was real and lived by millions.

Haunting, and Incredibly moving.
