In 1941 their lives were quiet, peaceful if you may. By 1944 the community was sure things with the German army were coming to a close. This was until the German forces penetrated into Hungarian territory with government approval. This was only the beginning for young Elie and his fellow Jewish community. People were thrown on to over crowded cattle cars, given a small ration of water and hauled off to their fates. Elie managed to stay put with his father meanwhile never seeing his mother and sister again. Men were separated into different groups, some were taken to different prisoner housing blocks, while the weak were headed straight to death in the crematorium. Elie received the new name labelling him A-7713. During this time prisoners were beaten severely, and only fed small amounts of food. Men were starving and faith began

In this book Elie and his family are sent to concentration camps. Elie and his family and have to work hard together. Elie and his family cannot give up and have to believe.

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.
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. Weisel used conflict to convey the central idea not to be blind to the truth. One of the characters in the book is called Moshe the Beadle. He was a pauper who roamed the streets of Sighet, Romania, the town where Elizer lives.
Night is a book that has a very strong theme that I believe strong hearted reads would really enjoy. Night describes the life of a young Jewish man Going through the hardships of the holocaust and every struggle that went along with such a hardship. The author Elie Wiesel describes how the struggles of the intense work camps, the low rations that they were given to eat and the continuous beatings that were force upon his people. I believe that this book is intended for a mature audience. It describes many graphic and gruesome scenes that a child should not b introduced to.
The book I read was Night written by Elie Wiesel this book takes place at Nazi concentration camps called Auschwitz and Buchenwald during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel's main reason in writing Night was to show the world what he expierenced and to show what destruction mankind can do to each other. I also believe Wiesel wrote Night to prevent the horrific things that happened during the Holocaust to happen again. Another reason I think Wiesel wrote Night was to remember all the people that died at the hands of the Nazis so they can not be forgotten. When I first read Night my first thought was disbelief because I could not believe how much pain was inflicted on the Jews during the Holocaust and how Elie survived the Nazi concentration camps to
Elies dad buried some of their valuables because he knew that it was going downhill quickly. They were soon moved to the small ghetto where they saw a nazi guard shoot an old guy because he was not walking fast enough. They were also told to stop and sit with no food or water in the very hot weather.

What a Time to be Alive “To forget a Holocaust is to kill twice”(Elie Wiesel). The book “Night” was published on 1956 and it was written by Elie Wiesel. This book was about a boy’s experience in the Holocaust. Throughout “Night” there are three moments that are incredibly powerful to focus on and understand to fully grasp the importance of this holocaust memoir.

The estimated Jewish population in 1933 was nine million five hundred eight thousand three hundred and forty men women and children; the estimated Jewish survivors of the holocaust, three million five thousand forty six two hundred and eleven people total. Elie Wiesel, a holocaust survivor wrote an autobiography called Night, based off the tragic experiences he endured. The book tells of the sights, smells, and memories of a horrific time in history. The author,Elie, describes the life of a thirteen year old boy who struggles with the fear of losing his family and the fight to beat hunger. The violence experienced during this time is deeply developed over the course of the novel by Elie first hearing of the people’s struggles, then witnessing horrific acts and then is fully developed when Elie experiences violence first hand.
Eventually the SS initiated the ghettos, fenced off areas inhabited by the captive Jews. The ghettos were more-the-less governed by Jews, with supervision of the SS, this gave them slightly more freedom in these small communities. In the ghettos, life slowly returned to "normal", children would be playing games and people would be walking down the streets carefree. But of course something bad happens, and Elie's father is called into a meeting. Once his father emerges back into the crowd, he tells them all one word,
Then things got worse and Jewish leaders were arrested along with taking away any gold, jewelry, or valuables the Jews owned, and they were made to wear a yellow star. Then the Jews were forced into two ghettos within their village. All the while, Elie and his family as well as many other Jewish families made no attempt to disobey the Germans and Hungarian police. Elie claimed at this time they were living in a state of delusion. Then the Jews were transported to Auschwitz by cattle cars fitting eighty people to each one with little food or water.
He writes of inhumanity of humankind. He writes in first person, and tells about how a mere short phrase changed his life forever. Elie begins his story as a normal 12 year old jewish boy in Romania. He introduces a person called Moshie, who plays a big role in Elie’s life. Elie looked up to Moshie because he was
Five years later, the Wiesels and other jews in the city of Sighet were segregated into a closed off subdivision called the ghettos. After being transported to different ghettos throughout towns and cities, they were all forcefully loaded into crowded cattle cars. Traveling through Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland to get to an unknown destination, in a mobbed train car, with an insufficient amount of food and space, is what the throng of people had to endure if they had any want for survival. Upon arriving at Auschwitz, the throng of Jews were divided by gender. As he watched his mother and three sisters walk away, not knowing if they will ever see each other again, Elie was conflicted with the thoughts of suicide as he sees horrific scenes play out in front of
Elie was held captive in concentration camps from 1944-1945. During his time in the concentration camps, he became grateful for what he had, overcame countless obstacles, and more importantly kept fighting until he was free. [The Holocaust is very important to learn about because it can teach you some important life lessons.] You should always be grateful for what you have, no matter what the circumstances are. This lesson can be learned when Elie says, “After my father’s death, nothing could touch me any more”(109).
