Rating:  Summary: Unforgettable message Review: "Night", by Ellie Wiesel, explains his real life in the Concentration Camps during World War II. His family and friends who were originally from Hungary were Jewish and were forced into starving, suffering, and mistreatment by the German leader, Adolph Hitler. The Nazi death camp's horror turns this young boy into the agonized witness to his family's murder, and the destroys his faith in God. This book awakens the shocking memory of evil at its absolute worst and carries with it the unforgettable message that this horror must never be allowed to happen again. The autobiographical nature of this book helps the readers identify with all the suffering and mistreatment that many innocent people had to witness and go through. Ellie Wiesel makes the scenes so real that any reader can feel like they were living in the horrible and terrifying events. The scenes are so vivid that the words can picture the Jews during the mistreatment of the Holocaust. Wiesel has described a painful journey through the darkness, through the false dawns and false days, until there are hints that tiny shafts of light can pierce the seemingly unending nights.
Rating:  Summary: This is a very educational book on the holocaust. Review: This book is very good. I found it quiet moving at a lot of times. The only thing I didn't like is that during the book he would mention things that he did after the war and it kind of made the book less thrilling. But other than that I thought it was a great book. Another great book is "I am David" if you like "Night" then you'll like "I am David".
Rating:  Summary: It was ok, better than what I thought it would be. Review: Night was a good book to understand what someone went though during the Holocaust. It told facts that really happened. I think the people went though lots of pain.
Rating:  Summary: The most powerful book I have ever read! Review: Ellie Wiesel presents an autobiography which tells a story in graphic horrifying details on how it was during the holocaust. The book gives a deep understanding of how terrifying it was at each camp the Eiesel went to. The book shows how fragile life really is, and how things all around us could be taken away. This book conveys knowledge of what really went on in the concentration camps. Everyone will get take away much from this powerful book. "Night" makes one really think that when times get hard, they can always get harder.
Rating:  Summary: The dramatic story of a family threw the holocaust. Review: by: Elie Wiesel The book I have read and review on has touched may people in many different ways. The book was called Night by Elie Wiesel. The book was a autobiography that tells a story about a family and their struggles through the holocaust. The story takes place in the camps at Auschwitz, Buna, and Burchenwald. This book hit me very hard, one of the quotes that struck me was when Elie was working in the crematory and one of the workers said, 3Look over there, that is your grave2 meaning that he was going to die and be placed there pretty soon. It made me very angry to know how these people were murdered, tortured, and mutilated. By the ending part of the book Elie and many of the other Jews are being forced into the crematory by the Nazis. The book was all about Eliezer and his family. His father was a very strong, brave man who gives up hope towards the end because of all the torture. The book1s conclusion was very sad and dramatic as many Jews died. For Eliezer he was the only one to survey from his family. At the end, many of the Jews just gave up because of all there struggles, and Eliezer thinks in his mind, 3 my mind was invaded by this realization there was no more reason to live, no more reason to struggle,2 as he sees his father lying dead on the floor. As many more of the Jews still were alive, they all waited for the worst. As they hear a prolonged whistle split the air, the wheels began to grind and they think to themselves, 3we were on our way2 to the gas chambers as others come to fill their place. This book ends sadly as all the Jews face the deaths of their loved ones. As for Elie and his family, he1s the only one that made it out alive after the Russians came and released them.
Rating:  Summary: It was a realistic and well wrote book. Review: I throughly enjoyed Night. I appericate the fact that not all Holocaust victims are cheerful and happy they were left to live. He shows how such a horrible thing can affect us all. Elise Wiesel is a very brave man to write such personal thoughts and angers to the public. The book itself is well written, surprisingly so, since it was an autobiography and I doubt he thought he was going to be a writer when he was young. I recommend this book, but be warned, it isn't flowery at all. And Mr.Wiesel makes no attempt to hide just how bad it affected him.
Rating:  Summary: The best book I have ever read Review: I can't say enough about this book. I read this book when I was in 7th grade and believe it or not, it helped me through high school and now into the real world. I have relized that the human spirit is fragile and priceless..I respect all of my fellow man.
Rating:  Summary: Great book--makes you understand the suffering in the camps. Review: This book was so good I could not put it down. Elie Wiesel, in a very thought provoking and emotional book, portrays his experiences in a Nazi concentration camp. His separation from his family and suffering he endures calls for sympathy, and at times tears.
Rating:  Summary: This book touches your heart Review: I am an 8th grader from Pennsylvania and we are required to read this book for our Language class. This book really touchs your heart and opens your mind to what the Nazi's did to those poor people. It is just terrible that human beings could do that to other humans. I think everyone should read this book. Elie did a great job of writing this book about murder and the will to survive!
