Elie Wiesel wrote a book to leave a legacy. He wanted to leave a memory that is more than just a story passed down from generation to generation. He wrote the book “Night” to show a story of survival and a reminder of what hate can do to people. He begins his story describing his life in the concentration camp filled with murder and fear.

Eliezer or “Elie” Wisel was a Romanian-born American Jewish writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor. Elie was also the narrator in the novel Night. A major point discussed by Elie was how we as the future generation should remember the victims of the Holocaust. Wisel points out that “To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” In other words, if we don’t learn from history it is bound to repeat itself.
This section did not have hope in it unlike the past section. However, I was able to get more of a perspective of how activities ran in Auschwitz and all the other camps intermingled within it. I found that the section had only a few parts that were disturbing, but for the most part, I find that the author of the book is increasingly likeable. Although he has guilt for some of his orders, it is a significant contrast from the guards in charge whom do not care about any prisoner. What I found to be very reprimandable is when Nyiszli gave the female prisoners medicine to take back to their shacks.

Night, is a Holocaust novel written by Elie Wiesel. The book recounts Wiesel’s traumatic childhood experiences while living through the Holocaust. He discusses the ghettos, the burning of bodies, the pain and suffering, and several other atrocities. During the Holocaust (1938 - 1945), Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party and under his reign, an abundant amount of people were being persecuted- the Jews, Jehovah’s witnesses, Homosexuals, the disabled, Gypsies, and any other citizens that helped those being persecuted. Night is technically not categorized under the traditional literary movements.
To find a man who has not experienced suffering is impossible; to have man without hardship is equally unfeasible. Such trials are a part of life and assert that one is alive by shaping one’s character. In the autobiographical memoir Night by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, this molding is depicted through Elie’s transformation concerning his identity, faith, and perspective. As a young boy, Elie and his fellow neighbors of Sighet, Romania were sent to Auschwitz, a macabre concentration camp with the sole motive of torturing and killing Jews like himself. There, Elie experiences unimaginable suffering, and upon liberation a year later, leaves as a transformed person.
