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?

^ They're all autobiographical... so the subsequent books aren't really "sequels". I remembered I cried so much from reading the book. It was really heart wrenching. It was beautifully written and nothing was sugarcoated. Going from Number the Stars and the Diary of Anne Frank to Night was a huge leap but Night was a much better firsthand account. |
