The book called “Night” is a great book to read about survival of the fittest. The book was written by a man named Elie Wiesel and was about his experience during the Holocaust. His book has some interesting parts about how he and other Jews saw the Holocaust before and after they were taken to concentration camps.

    A mere twenty-one years after the utter devastation of World War I, Nazi Germans invaded Poland, breaking their non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, and plunging the world into yet another global conflict. The carnage of World War II (WWII) was much more widespread than its predecessor, as the war was fought not only throughout Europe, but also in various locations of the Pacific Ocean. Prior to the Nazi occupation of Poland, at the end of World War I, the winning nations had devised a peace treaty, called the Treaty of Versailles, which forced Germany to take responsibility for the war, and punished the country as such. Germany lost land, was forced to pay $6.6 billion in reparations, and lost a majority of their military. These changes devastated the German

    While reading the book Night by Elie Wiesel, one of the things I learned about was the jews living conditions. I read about Elie living them with many other jews and it stuck out to me because how could a person live like that and stay alive? Every jew that was caught was sent to a concentration camp and had a total different way of lifestyle when being held there. Another thing that stuck out while reading the book was the SS officers. The SS officers are Hitler's protective unit.

    ---Rough Draft--- While we probably all know that the Holocaust was a horrible stain on the fabric of society, Elie Wiesel's book shows that the acts of the Nazi's are more horrible towards the Jews than some of us may have been led to believe. Elie originates from a town known as Sighet located in what was previously known as Transylvania. Though Sighet was not part of Germany or Hungary, they were still abused by the SS soldiers, by trapping them in fenced off ghettos. They also soon transported them in a terrible cattle car ride, and treated them like slaves. But the meat of the story takes place in the concentration camp(s), where they are given minimal amounts of food and judged like dogs to see if they are worth keeping.
