  • What Is The Theme Of Night By Elie Wiesel

    1163 Words  | 5 Pages

    Before reading Night by Elie Wiesel, what I know happened during that time was from school and of my grandfather and his father’s story. My grandfather’s story was one told to one person and from an early age I was told not to ask about how he lost his leg and later do not to ask him about his time, with the only accounts coming from oral history and documents from the Arolsen Archives. From knowing his story some of what appears in Night is similar to the little bit that I know about his story. Unlike my grandfather, Elie Wiesel wanted to let people know what happened to him and his family. He explains why he thought the way he did at the time rather than focusing on changing events.
