Have you ever cared for someone so much, that you forgot about your own health and safety, so you could focus on theirs? Elie Wiesel tells his story about his time in a concentration camp during World War Two in his very own book, Night. He was only 13 years old in the comfort of his home in Sighet, Transylvania, until the Nazis invaded and began tearing his life apart.

The death march in Night by Elie Wiesel is started when all the prisoners were forced to leave the camp that they were at and relocate to a new camp. The night was very cold and snowy, and Elie’s foot was already hurt because of some pus that was in it. His only choice was to go on with the march on a hurt foot or stay in the camp and probably die anyways. He decided to go on the march because he wanted to be with his father and he didn’t want to die helplessly. At around six at night, the entire camp lines up in formation and they all started marching block by block.
The book Night is a very descriptive book about the holocaust and the man who wrote the book Elie Wiesel has showed the cruelty that people can be but also shows how people still resist to what was happening to them not a mass of people but enough for him to notice. “A violin in a dark barrack where the dead were piled on top of the living? Who was this madman who played the violin here, at the edge of his own grave?” (Wiesel 95). The person who played the violin was a kid around the same age as Elie named Juliek.
The book Night is a memoir written by Elie Wiesel. This memoir is about Eliezer, a young Jewish boy, and his experience of the Holocaust that killed about 12 million people.

He was a pauper who roamed the streets of Sighet, Romania, the town where Elizer lives.

This book is very popular and controversial due to its accurate account of the horrors which occurred during the Holocaust. Throughout the book, Elie Wiesel shows the themes “ Humans are capable of unimaginable evil” and “ The bond between a father and his son is very important” using deep symbolism and word choice. In the book Night, Idek is the leader of Elie and his father's work unit and is known by many Jewish prisoners for his frequent bursts of rage.
This essay is over the book called night by Elie Wiesel. The book is about Elie Wiesel who was sent to auschwitz concentration camp during world war 2 with his family.

Tristah Andrews The sound of a gunshot is often accompanied by deathly screams and cries---or just quiet prayers in the night. In Elie Wiesel's memoir, Night, it tells of his experiences and trials in the concentration camps. The book is the story of Eliezer as a younger boy who was taken to a concentration camp and then separated from his younger sister and mother. He is only left with his father, and Eliezer would do anything to keep it that way. His time in the concentration camp is one that would try anyone's sanity, let alone strength.

The book I chose to read, “Night”, was named after Elie Wiesel’s darkest time period in his life. When Elie was young, he was enslaved by the Nazi’s. In the novel, Elie tells us how harsh conditions were for the Jews and what they had to experience. After the Holocaust, he was inspired to write about the concentration camps that he stayed at and what he experienced while he was in the death camp. I chose to read this book because I wanted to learn more about the Holocaust and what the Jewish people had to experience.
