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.
I am happy that you enjoyed it!
