Night by Elie Wiesel is a book describing the 9 months he spent at the concentration camps. In the book Elie is 15 years old when his family and him are separated and sent to the concentration camps. During the book Elie stays with his father throughout until his father dies but he is separated from his mother and three sisters.

The book, Night, by Elie Wiesel is a memoir about the dreadful Holocaust in which Wiesel survived. The Wiesel family consisted of Elie, his two older sisters, Hilda and Bea, and younger sister, Tzipora, and parents. The family lived in the town of Sighet, Transylvania before they were shipped off to war but were then relocated to a ghetto at the beginning of the Holocaust. Elie met Moshe the Beadle in 1941 when he was about thirteen years old. Moshe the Beadle was a shtibl who was transported to one of the camps before some of the other Jews and was shot and pretended to be dead so that he could escape and return home to warn the other Jews about such occurrences but they would not listen to him.
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.
In Night, an autobiography by Eliezer Wiesel, Wiesel shares his journey of the Holocaust as a Jew. He lives in a family of six, born and raised by jewish parents. When Wiesel is 15, he is taken away to the concentration camp, Auschwitz, where he would fight to escape deaths grasping hand as it takes away his father.

In class we read the nonfiction book, Night by Elie Wiesel. It is a story about Elie, as a young teen, being a victim of the Holocaust and the gruesome situations he been in.

Plot: Elie Wiesel lived with his younger sister and parents in a small town during the period of World War Two. Where they were Jewish their fear of the German reaching them grew steadily until the German tanks rolled through their streets. Where the officers were nice, that did not stop them from setting up the ghetto’s in town square: “The ghetto was ruled by neither German nor Jew; it was ruled by delusion” (12). Soon Wiesel found himself on a train to Auschwitz, where he was separated from his mother and sister, forced along with his father to join the other men at their camp. To work or to be burned, Elie and his father struggled to stay alive, on their rations of bread, but keeping fit enough to survive the test the leaders put on them.
The holocaust was one of, if not the, worst events in history, German soldiers killed six million Jewish men, women, and children, and even more were put into concentration camps.

He was beaten, tested over and over for many months, and he was filled with trepidation, yet he kept going through it all.
