Night vs. Run Boy Run Many stories of the terrors of World War Two and the Holocaust have been told. Some are made up, but the most powerful are the true stories of survival.

The liberation took place in 1945 (Steele 66).

These specific types of silence include; from the world, within Eliezer himself, the Jewish people and from God. Eliezer Wiesel’s eye-opening memoir shares his experiences during the Holocaust and provides the reader a real life picture of the hardship endured by the Jews.
