‘Isnt it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back. Everything is different’ Quote by C.S Lewis

Elie Wiesel was one of the many unfortunate souls who were sent to Auschwitz, a well known concentration camp. He spent many painful years watching people get shot, or die of starvation; seeing people get sent to gas chambers for no reason. After he escaped, he turned bitter, and cruel.

We should all do our upmost to make our world a better, and more improved place for our youth to

The Jews don’t believe that what awaited them in Auschwitz was even possible. For example, Wiesel displays tragic irony when

Being the last sentence of the book, and out of all the passages I highlighted this one stood out to me and described Wiesel’s experience in just a few simple sentence. He looked at himself for the first time in many years, and did not recognize himself he saw a different person. This showed me that the concentration camps changed him he was a different person inside and out. The events that occurred to him had scared him so much that the man he saw in the mirror wasn’t him, but one who had been drained of life that looked lifeless from the events occurred in the concentration camps.
