Night by Elie Wiesel is a powerful book about a jewish child and his family caught up in a concentration camp. It is an autobiography. We are reading it for class, and I thought it would be a great book to talk about. Here is a few links:

The book's site
Wikipedia on Night
Elie Wiesel's Bio

I believe he choose not to talk about the expierence for twelve years, and if you've read the book, you can understand why. I couldn't believe it was all true.

//edit.

sorry, it was ten years.
Anyway, comments? _smile.gif

I had to read it twice and it shocked me the first time since he was so graphic with the details. Oprah held an essay contest around the time I read it the second time and my teacher made us participate.
