Summary: Review On Night
Review: "Where is god?" Nazi concentration camps stirred up much confusion amongst the Jews and the things that they once believed in. As illustrated by this quote from the book. This describes many hardships and the feeling that they felt and shared during their horrific times in the concentration camps.

This book takes place during World War II in the Nazi concentration camps. And is about a young boy trying to survive as a jew in a german race that despises him in every way that they can. This boys name is Elie Wiesel, he is also the the author of the book, which I think gives the book and story more detail to the feelings and the thoughts of all the characters of the book. Elie shares personal experiences of pain, anger, and fear from his times in the Nazi Death Camps. Not only does he share his own experiences throughout the book, but also other characters that he meets throughout his fight for life and freedom.

I found this very disturbing because I found myself putting myself in the story and imagining what it was like to have to do what he put up with for so long. The fact that anyone could bring theirselves to perform such acts on another human being just because of their race, is a horrific thing to think about. And the fact that all of this actually did happen and that he survived is amazing and inspiring. But when I said disturbing I was also talking about when Elie described the emotions of not only himself but of the others around him. It was hard for me to imagine that someone could forget everything that they once had like their family, their religon, or even their life. I would never want tom imagine myself even thinking like that. But throughout this millions of people died mentally long before their bodies ever did. It just made feel sad that all these people felt this way and nobody did anything about it.

The oriny of the book to me would had to have been the firepit, where miilions of jewish people were buened after, and sometimes before they died. Many people took a quick glance at the flames spewing from the top of the large smoke stacks and gave up all hope in living because they believed that their fate was to thrown in the fiery pits of fury and hate that had already consumed so many lives before them. Another part of irony from the firepits, was the smell of burning flesh that the flames of death emitted. Elie himself noted that he was going to throw himself against the fatal electric fence bfore he would be burned alive in the the flames that had concumed so many before him.

"Night" from Elie Wiesel is a good book for those intersted in the Nazi concentration camps. Or even if only a good story is the only thing that your looking for, Night is the right book for you. But there is ome very explicit and violent actions in this book, but like i said, Elie wrote everything from what he remembers, and that's how it was. So I recommend that this book be read by many in the near future. Thank You.

Summary: Dark. Cold. Real.
Review: "Night" traces the life of a young boy from a quiet life in a small Rumanian town through the brutality of Nazi forced labor, ghetto life, deportation, separation from family, concentration camp life, symbiotic existence with an aging and weakening father, death marches, and the end to the physical horrors -- to which the word "liberation" can only marginally apply. It is also a journey into Elie Wiesel's heart, into the propensity for good and evil within all of us. The tale is a short but riveting one, indeed shrouded in the darkness of night and the depths of falling snow. You may well complete it in only a day or two of reading. My own trip to Birkenau in 2002 in the midst of winter captured only the cold and desolation, but not the guns, the trains, the groans, nor the Night which Wiesel describes. I do not believe we should confuse voyeurism with a desire for empathy, and a desire for empathy is perhaps one of the more constructive motivations for reading about the Holocaust. This work escorts the reader down a short, intense, and painful corridor into the nadir of Wiesel's own despair, into the void of a faith shattered, and into the evil propensities characteristic of the human kind since times immemorial. Yet it gracefully circumvents any penchant for voyeurism, compromising no facet of the horrific tale but in no way exploiting it for the much baser goal of producing a compelling narrative. This is Elie Wiesel's heart on paper. Probably all of our hearts on paper.

Review: This was an assignment for english and for it being about histoy it was interesting. I thought the book was a reality check to what we are so lucky to not have to incounter. Elie's hardships were depressing but he had courage to survive. This book is one to tell friends who like history about. Night is a depressing , truthfull and opens my eyes just alittle more to what could happen.

Review: The book "Night" I thought was very good. It gives you a picture of what the jews had to go through during the Holocaust, and how terrible it was for them. The concentration camps, the men seperated from their families, not knowing if they would ever see them again. the book really gives you a good view of what it was like to be there.

Summary: night
Review: this book was a good book for the ones who like to read about wars, and the past. It was about the jews during the second world war. The main character Elie had to keep his self and his father alive. He only had some bread and a little soup to do this. When he was thirsty he had to eat snow off his fellow prisoners backs.

Summary: Corey's Night review by Elie Wiesel
Review: In the book Night I learned during that time that Jews had a bad life. In some of the parts I felt really bad for them. Like when some of the people got split up from their families. I could never do that. I would just choose to be killed. In the book people were treated worse than livestock. You could see teir ribs popping out and you could almost see every bone in their bodies. I could never live like that. One piece of bread for twelve people. And the Germans liked to watch it.

Summary: NIGHT
Review: The book Night is a great book. It has a lot of meaning and the emotion in it will bring tears to your eyes.It's about wwII during the Holocust. It makes you ask questions like how could people be so cruel. Many people in this book die from exhaustion. Most people have no choice but to eat snow for water. This book makes anyones emotions really set stgate.They segragated the Jews all because of there religion. They had to work in camps and be separated from their family's . I know that would have been way to hard for me I wouldn't even be able to imagine the horror and dispare these people went through . This book is one of the best books that I have ever read.

Summary: Night By Elie Wiesel
Review: Night By Elie Wiesel is about Jews in concentration camps. Elie was one of these Jews. He had to deal with many hardships from the start to the end of the Holocaust. Elie had to help his dad survive. He also had to try and help himself stay alive. They had so little food. When they did get food they only had a small piece of bread. Many people fought to get more. Most of the Jews that were in the concentration camp died before they got freedom. Elie was one of the few to survive.
