End of book: Night


The memoir of Elie Wiesel was all in all, very emotional, historical as well as interesting to read about.  Although the topic of the book was over a tragedy (the holocaust), it was told in a very unique and impressive manner; first-hand experience. The story itself presented the pain and anguish of a boy who from the age of twelve to sixteen practically grew up in the time of the Holocaust. Early on in the story, Elie and his family were taken from their safe life to all over Poland/Germany in concentration camps. During the beginning of their travels, the men and women were separated; Elie would never see his mom and sisters ever again.  The horror brought by the Nazis was painted very well in Wiesel’s memoir, showing the true savageness and cruelty behind the time period. Overall, I feel the memoir Night was very well written; although at times different to understand to language barriers, and all things considered quite enjoyable to read.
