Summary: Gripping, chilling, real.
Review: "Night" is a chilling account of the horrors of the holocaust and slow murder of the human spirit. Elie Wiesel takes the reader with him into the barracks, into the crowded trains, making the reader see through Wiesel's eyes, and feel with Wiesel's heart the terror, the pain, the emptiness , strength, hopelessness, and the inhumanity suffered by the Jews in Auschwitz. This work is a testimony of man's capacity for evil, and the strength of the human will.

Summary: Unexplainable, one word Genicide
Review: I am a sophmore in high school and in English we have just read Night by Elie Weisel. Night is unexplainable, it reaches down into your heart and grips it. This book is everything you didn't want to know about WWII and what the Jewish went through at the Nazi Death Camps, but once you're done, you feel so unexplainably grief struck that actual people went through this and enlightened that you know that it should never happen again....And you have no regrets that you read it.

Summary: Imagine hell, then think again...
Review: To say that we comprehend on any level what Elie Wiesel endured seems blasphemous! We are nothing more than tourists as he guides us deep into the darkness where one might catch a passing glimpse of the Angel of Death; Someone Elie was once intimate with. We however, can merely set the book down, blow out the flame, cry in the darkness and the journey is over. For Wiesel, the burning never ends.

Summary: A striking book of reality
Review: As I read this book, I was struck by the unreality of it all. Can any of us imagine the grief and the pain this poor young man went through? None of us have ever had or experienced this.

Summary: a must-read
Review: I found it to be one of the most moving and captivating books I have ever read. In the beginnning there is a quote that i feel sums it up best: "As a human document, Night is almost unbearably painful, and certainly beyond criticism."

Summary: Very moving, accurate description of the Holocaust.
Review: This book is one of the few truely incredible documentaries of the Holocaust. Told by survior Elie Wiesel, it is a true account of his experiences that had me so stricken with the pain that he, and the 11 million others must have gone through I cannot begin to describe. I highly recommend. "Never, as long as I live, will I forget [this book], even if I am condemned to live as long as God himself."

Summary: Night by Elie Weisel
Review: In Night, Elie describees the pain and suffering that he and millions of Jews experienced hunder Hitler's regime at the Auschwits and Buchenward . Elie was liberated from Buchenward on 1945. Elie not only tells his story about suffering with eloquence, but he also describes it so vivid that he makes the reader aware of all the feelings and emotions Elie experienced, his lost of innocence, his separation of his family, his separations from his father and friends and his lost of his faith. Night really impresed me and even changed me as a person. I am more sympathetic now to people that are suffering, for example, I brought flowers to a wife whose husband is having an operation in his abdomen due to his addiction. Also reading Night reaffirms that life is very precious, for instance, I work with pregnant teenagers to persuade them to keep their unborn child by helping them to realize that their baby could become a President of United States of America, a novel prize scientist, or a famous musician or writer. I am grateful for the opportunity that I had to read Night by Elie because of the impact that it had in my life. He has made me become a more compassionate person. I am a better person today than I was a year ago. Thanks Elie.

Summary: A story of a teenage boy's sufferings during the Holocaust
Review: Elie Wiesel's book Night is one of the most horrific books ever written about the Holocaust. The tragedies and suffering the Jewish people endured during the Holocaust is unbelievable. Elie was only fifteen when he and his family were forced to leave their home, where they were taken to concentration camps of Birkenau, Buna and Auschwitz. Elie brings it all out in Night, each harrowing detailed account, from being forced to view countless numbers of hangings to seeing babies and children cremated while they were still alive. Elie states in Night that "not far from us flames were leaping up from a ditch, gigantic flames. A lorry drew up at the pit and delivered its load - little children. Babies! Yes, I saw it - saw it with my own eyes. . those children in the flames. "This book is a must read. It should make us all appreciate life and remember and respect those who suffered during the Holocaust.

Summary: The Longest Night in Wiesel's lifes.
Review: Night takes readers on a journey that shows how the Nazis executed their "final solution" of the Jews during World War II. Elie Wiesel was a twelve years old Jewish boy when Nazi took over Sighet, Transylvania. Wiesel was a well educated boy who came from a religious family but World War II changed him into a completely different person. After what he had been through, he lost his faith, like many Jews, and doubted the existence of God. Wiesel was separated from his mother and his younger sister, but remained with his father in the concentration camp. With his own eyes, he witnessed and experienced how Nazis tormented the Jews. His heart was shattered when he saw babies burnt to death in a pit and many other horrors, which have left a permanent scar in his heart. "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed.Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of children whose bodies I saw turned into wreath of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget those flames, which consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never". Night shows us the cruelty of war and how it can ruin the lives of many souls and, most importantly, their beliefs. Night reminds us of the peace and harmonious lives that most of us take for granted.
