A New Translation From The French By Marion Wiesel
Night is Elie Wiesel's masterpiece, a candid, horrific, and deeply poignant autobiographical account of his survival as a teenager in the Nazi death camps. This new translation by Marion Wiesel, Elie's wife and frequent translator, presents this seminal memoir in the language and spirit truest to the author's original intent. And in a substantive new preface, Elie reflects on the enduring importance of Night and his lifelong, passionate dedication to ensuring that the world never forgets man's capacity for inhumanity to man.
Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be.

One of the most haunting, important stories of all human history
Danielle R. - 3 years 4 months agoA deserved winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, 'Night' faces the dire reality of what was World War II, and more specifically, the experience of the Holocaust. This story is a horrifying, but sobering true tale of one young man's survival of the single most chaotic and tragic event of human history. Elie Wiesel blends a memoir of his own life with his family, and that of his uprooting into a stark, cold new reality. 'Night' is a chronicle of surviving imprisonment, but also of facing the good and evil of one's own sense of self.

A Must Read Voicing Tolerance
Natalie W. - 6 years 4 months agoWiesel's voice sheds light on his own story and that of so many who are not able to share their own. I love teaching with this text because it opens my students' eyes to injustice and sparks conversations of change. #SummerReading

To believe or not believe there will always be hope in a blink of an eye no matter the circumstances
Monica C. - 6 years 4 months agoWhat I liked about the book was how the author Elie Wiesel was the main character whom survived the Holocaust. He not only stayed strong for his father figure but stayed strong for himself. Though he was weak and vulnerable he kept believing in a God every one spoke of but later started to question if there was even one. His whole experience was about survival and unity, despite the horrible events that he had witnessed during that time. I would recommend this to adult readers. #SummerReading
