Summary: Night by Elie Wiesel takes place in 1944 in the village of Sighet, Transylvania (Romania). Elie is fifteen years old and his instructor Moshe the Beadle returns after a near death experience to warn him of nazis that are coming to threaten the lives of everyone in the village (I personally would’ve tried to run rather than just wait for the nazis to come). During their deportation the third day at midnight everyone in the village saw flames rising knowing it was the nazis.

The writing of the memoir Night is due to Elie Wiesel’s lack of patience towards everyone’s opinions about the Holocaust when they did not experience it.

Night is also about how the prisoners brought hope to one another while they were in the camp.

This is where people began to no longer feel peaceful and began the long journey of fear and worry that would get worse throughout the book.
