Please look through trigger warnings before reading. It is a very hard book to read as it deals with the authors experience as a Jewish person during WWII.

dark informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

This book is a haunting representation of one of the worst periods of human history—the Holocaust. Its few pages tell the horrifying story of a boy and his family living out their experience in the concentration camps. I accidentally decided to read this on the anniversary of Elie Wiesel’s release from Buchenwald, an ultimately moving decision. I can’t give this book a rating, as this memoir deserves more than a measly five-star rating. What is of most import in Wiesel’s story is the story itself. One that must be told over and over, so we may never forget.

Incredible account of Wiesel's time in a concentration camp. Griping tale, very sad but that's to be expected. Couldn't put it down
