Summary: An education
Review: I was exposed to this book in camp as an 8-year old. I still rememeber the book in detail and I even encourage many of my students to read Night so that they can understand about an entire generation of people that they will never know.

Summary: A Gripping True Story
Review: By far the most touching and gripping book that I have ever read. You can't put into words the thoughts that spin around inside your head. This book is much different than other factual stories from Auschwitz. NIGHT, is a masterpiece of literature and a great story. With literature like this I can understand why Elie Wiesel won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Summary: Changed my life
Review: Before I decided to read Night, I had a numb kind of feeling towards the Holocaust. I had heard about it so many times that the effect had sort of worn off. It was no big deal anymore, just another historic event. After reading Night I find myself ashamed that I ever felt that way. Night brought the Holocaust and smacked me in the face with it. I have never ever been so shocked by a book. I cried, and I rejoiced. Every person in this modern day should read night. I think it would show us all what hatred can do. Maybe make some of us think before we do another hateful thing.

Summary: Amazing, astounding, inspiring!
Review: This is the only book I've ever read that made me cry...In fact, I have such a deep emotional link to this book I plan to give my child the middle name of Juliek...I've never been so dumb-struck by a book. For days it was all I could think about. I lost both sleep and faith in humanity for awhile. This book makes you face yourself as a human being and question your moral, ethical, positions as well as your faith in religion and humanity...It may only be 109 pages but it couldn't possibly be more poignant.

Summary: My Thoughts
Review: I truly felt that the book was an excellent way to show people the horrors of the Holocaust.From the moment I began reading this book I could not put it down. I shall read this book to my children when they get old enough to show what iggnorance and hatered can put someone through. Night was well written and enticing. The book will stay in my heart and soul forever.

Summary: '' Form the depths of the mirror a corpse gazed at me...''
Review: I have to admit, before I'd read this book, my feelinga on the Holocaust were really pretty numb. I would hear about it year after yuear after year, but tune it out. After all horrible things happen to all kinds of people- why cry over all of it. Because it si important to understand the pain, so never to repeat it.I have heard this all the time- but never believed it- until I have read this. The first book to really break THROUGH my NUMBNESS- was this. I never doubted the Holocaust happened- but I really did not care about it. But this could have been me. I am not Jewish- or Christian, or German, or Hungarian. I am simply a young Asian-American living in New York. Eli Wiesel was very damaged by his experiences- and I really do not know how he could find the strength to write this book- and confront those painful memories AGAIN. (IF THE AUTHOR IS READING, I WANT HIM TO KNOW I TRULY ADMIRE THIS.)To relive all this pain- is something I am not sure I would have the strength to do. But I want everyone who never believed in a Holocaust to know that I understand them: THEY ARE SIMPLY GOOD, TRUSTING PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE SUCH HORROR, AND DEHUMANIZATION EVER HAPPENED. But it did- and does- AND NOTHING ANYONE SAYS CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. The sentance I think really broke the front was: '' The father and son lay side by side, in the boxcar with bits of bread scattered around. I was fifteen.'' It was the latter sentance that really helped me understand- because I am close to that age. I cannot imagine seeing such horrible things, or feeling the despair he felt. In contrast I read the book: The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom,who suffered, and yet managed to use the Lord Jesus as an intact power. Although I am a believer in Christ, I am not sure even He would be able to help me keep my humanity in the face of such absoloute evil. What is probably worse- is that a Holocause happened here in America- YES AMERICA- as well. The black people (not to mention any other non-whites) were segregated, and mistreated even AFTER THE HOLOCAUST. I read John Howard Griffin's ''Black like me'', and must say that both accounts of pain are startling. I think this book needs to be read- and commend the author for writing such an engrossing autobiography.

Summary: Absolutly Fantastic
Review: I'm not a big fan of books , and when I was assigned to read Night by Ellie Weisel in 10th grade , well lets just say I wasn't jumping up and down for joy . As usual I started on the book at the last minute but when I started reading I just couldn't put it down and for the first time in my life I finished a book in one setting . This book is a magnificent account of a boy's life during the Holocaust . At 2 AM in the morning this book had me in tears and kept me up for the rest of the night . I'm not saying that this book will leave you sad . But the way Ellie uses words is much like the way an artist uses paint to to show something . This book is short but not enough can be said about it , so pick it up for yourself and let Ellie take you back to a time period that could only be described as NIGHT .
