Summary: Horrifying, startling....will touch your heart and soul
Review: Elie Wiesel tells the story of his life, a devout Jewish young man who survives the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. The story is stark, harsh truth and while this is a difficult story to read and bear, it is worth each moment. While it details the killing of babies, children and women in horrifying truth, Mr. Wiesel does not stop there. He addresses the question of why and how this occured in his town when there were ample warnings about the future,.. that no one believed it would actually happen to them, there.... His openess about the experience of having your faith shattered and yet still believing enough to be mad at God was brilliantly done. While I have read several books about the Holocaust this one was the most vivid and real to me. The details of life in the camps,and the extremes to which some would go to "merely" to survive were heart and soul wrenching. Seeing this through his eyes was an amazing experience. I have had this book for nearly a year before I read it. I knew the story of the concentration camps and wasn't sure I wanted to learn anymore than I already had. This book is horrifying, startling and an amazing revelation from a true survivor.

Summary: Death of a boy's Dreams
Review: The Jewish family lived in a Jewish community in Sighet in Transylvania. Because they lived in Jewish praise, the Germans wanted to exterminate them. They were sent to Ghettos in their own towns. They were sent to concentration camps and had horrible commands or death. When they were sent to ghettos, they had goods taken away; and if they had a home on the outskirts of the ghetto, their windows were blocked up. The main family got to stay in their own home, and several others did too. However there were only two ghettos held in the town and several families had to share homes with others. They got moved to the last ghetto and then to a train. There were about 80 people on board a cart. They were sent to Auschwitz-a concentration camp. They separated families by women, young and old, and the weak. The main family goes like this: Hilda, the eldest, then Bea, Eliezer, and then Tzipora. Eliezer was the only male sibling of his family. He was 15 and lied to be 18 so that he wouldn't be creamed. His father was 50 and lied to be 40 for the same reason. They stayed together throughout the whole book. The men had to go through showers, new barracks, and running several times a day. There was an actual human with encouraging words, a young Pole in charge of block 17 at Auschwitz, he said "good night". They reached their new camp: Buna, the iron gate. They were sent to a warehouse for electrical equipment, the Kapo was actually a nice one, and allowed Eliezer and his father together. The American planes were bombing Buna, and every prisoner was happy, even if they did get bombed. Even though Eliezer's foot was pussed up and he was in the hospital, he managed to go on the journey to Gleiwitz to run from the Russians. Many had died, and in Gleiwitz another selection occurred. Then in a train of ten days and ten nights sent them to Buchenwald, his father's close death scared him. His father was still alive, but breaths were very shallow. He was struck with dysentery and died with the last words "Eliezer". The liberation happened on April 11th at six o' clock-the American's tank stood at the gates of Buchenwald. I think Eliezer had a very strong personality, he was told to stay standing up by a German officer and did exactly that. He was A-7713, and was known only by that when he received that by needle from the Veterans. He had his number added to a list because he had a gold crown on his tooth; any goods should be given over. But he managed to pull off something stealthy-being sick. Eliezer once wondered in the studies of cabbala, was a strong believer of God, cried when he prayed, and prayed for everything. By the beginning of the New Year, he did not believe in God, Yom Kippur, or in fasting. If he did fast it would be a quicker and swifter way to death. Elie Wiesel's book Night is one of many vile books ever written about the Holocaust. The tragedies and suffering the Jewish people endured during the Holocaust is unbelievable. I would definitely recommend this book. Eliezer Wiesel is the narrator and was really in the war. He lasted the whole thing, and gave great description of the war. Only because the bloody, horrific happenings that took place would never leave one's mind. If you don't want to know about how apprehensive life was in the 1940's, don't read this book; however, it would give you great knowledge of one mind of one different race.

Summary: This book is in my top 3 books.
Review: The book i read was Night by Elie Wiesel. Night is a horrifying book about the Nazi Death Camps and the Ghettos. It is hard to realize that this is a true story.

The book is Non-Fiction and the events that happen in the book happened in to the author, Elie Wiesel. The author grimly describes how he and other prisoners were treated at the camps

This is one of the best books I have ever read. After reading it, i found myself wanting the book to be longer. I like it because the main character, Elie, never loses faith or stops thinking of his father.

Summary: night
Review: Elie wiesil was a main charicter in the book night and during the beggening of the book elies father was potimistic because he had a good view twards the futer. Elie was 15, but at the camp he was 18 and his father was 40 because any body under 18 and over 40 was killed. Elie had a chance at the camp tp kill himself by walikng into a electric frnce or by jumping into a fire pit but elie stayed alive to be with his father and that his family would survive. Eliw was told by his father that they were going to a camp because his father went to a metting and they said the were going to be deported. Once they knew they were going to be deported they were put on cattle cars and if somebody was missing every body in the cars would be shot. The dentists job at the camps were to take out peoples gold crouns amd elie was taken out witha spoon. Once they arived at the camp the were tossed clothes as the ran around in a circle to determan how good of shape ther were in. Thje book was a good book because it expllained how the treatment realy was for jews and what they went through.

Summary: Night
Review: i liked some parts of this book but others i could of done with out, also i did not really understand some tings in the book. i liked how the book was very detailed and the story it told. The book it self was really good, once you got passed the frist ten to fiften pages you get more in to and understand the book more.If you did not really want to read a book like this then those frist ten to fifteen pages would be really hard for you.there is also so hard fact in the book. Some of he books facts were a little hard to swollow, like all of the killing in the book of women and childern. In the book the would take the babys and thought them up aganced a wall to kill the faster. i would also did not like how the bured people. The end of the book was to plan for me i am not going to give it way but i wish it would of been more detailed and told what happened to him more after all of it. The things that i did not understant was all of the metafors in the book. Like when they hung a man and the Elie ( the main charitor) decribed soup acoreding to the soup. that just confused me. I recomened this book for all of the people who like to read this kind of stuff, but if you like me then you might want to pass one the book.

Summary: "Night"
Review: My review over Night is that it was a really good and serious book. Elie Wiesel really did a good job explaining all the difficulties that they had to go through when they were in the camps. I think he had to let out his pain and memories that he had when he was going through that trenchery in the holocaust. The book was really realastic, Because he really went into alot of detail when he was telling us what went on when the nazi tryed to strike fear into all the jews by hanging people and making them watch it. He explained all the facial features that the people had when they were being prepared to be hanged. The things that roam in his mind consists of running from place to place that sometimes can be more then 5 miles apart without stopping. The biggest memory he has is the separation from his family, that will forever be caught in his thoughts for the rest of his life. In conclusion what happen to the jews was truely a display of how bad the hate for the jews by the nazi was, so if you are intrested in the history of the camps this is best book you could find on explaining what went on.

Summary: My Opinion on Night
Review: I like the book Night because it is a great way to learn about the Holocaust. I have three reasons why I like this book.

My first reason is that it explains a life of a child in the Holocaust. The author tells about his life in the concentration camps. He also tells you about the selections, where you are seportated by gender, age, occupation, and health.

The second reason is they give an idea of how most people died in the Holocaust. Most of the people died in gas chambers, which looked just like showers. They also chould have bean shot, burned, or hanged.

My third reason is the book states that in the begining most of the people did not belive that the Germans werenot going to do harm to the people in the ghetto.

In conclusion, I would recommend this book because it teaches people about life in the Holocaust.

Summary: Night
Review: I believe that Night is an O.K. book. It is not a good book, and it is not a bad book. The reason why I think the book is bad is because it talks about killing, shooting, hitting, and burning. It is also bad when it talks about people who were burned, and how they stunk in so much detail. It seems like someone was obsessed. I probably wouldn't have lived through the Holocaust. The book Night is good in my opinion because it does not lie about any facts. It talks about how the Jews starved to death, and how they were burned. It also talks about how the babies were thrown up in the air and used for targets by the Germans. The Germans should be put in place of the Jews so that the Germans would figure out that the Jews have feelings just like every other human being. I would recommend this book to people who wonder about the history of the Jews.

Summary: Summary for NIght
Review: Personally, i didn't like Night simply because it contained material that was too graphic for a reader such as I. Too many times the book told of people getting burnt to death, hung, shot, or beaten. That kind of stuff makes me think more of people dying then of the message the author was trying to get across to the readers.

If the author had based the book more on the whole Holocaust event and not on his personal accounts, i think that i would have enjoyed reading the book more. I thought that the book wouldn't had been a personal story so i when i found out that it was a personal story i wasn't as interested in it. I do think that writing a story like that would take a lot of courage on the authors part but i just don't feel good about reading of babies and women getting killed over another person's prejuduce way of viewing the rest of the world.

Summary: Night Review
Review: I liked the book Night. This book was full of reality and what really happened during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel never hid any of his troubles he had during this time like being whipped 25 times and when he would give up his rations and give them to his father or when he had to march for miles and miles to go to another concentration camp. Another reason I liked this book is because it helped me to picture what Auschwitz was like during the Holocaust. When thay were on the train riding to Auschiwtz I could picture how close together the people were and when Madame Schachter was screaming, "Fire,fire,fire", and they shoved a cloth in her mouth and hit her. I could picture all of this happening. I would recommend this book to teenagers especially those who would like to know wat really happened during the Holocaust.
