    The memoir Night is a text that displays several theme topics with deeply rooted emotional ties. One theme that is expressed and explored in Night is self preservation versus family commitment. An instance nearing the beginning of the story involves the former maid of the Wiesel family offering a safe place at her village so the family would not be taken away to the concentration camps. In response, Elie’s father tells Elie and his two elder sisters, "If you wish, go there.
