Summary: A heart-warming tear-jurking story about the courge of a boy
Review: The story I read is called "Night." It is the story of a Jewish boy and his father surviving in the cosentration camps of Germany during the Second World War. This is an eye-opening story of the true horrors of the Holocaust and what the Jewish society went through just to survive. Meet our hero, a young Jewish boy who, when he entered the camps, was bent on staying with his father all the way through, but as time wears on we notice a change in him and in many of the younger ones. They become hard and more angry at the world, and prove that even under the most harsh conditions the human spirit can survive, even if it does become covered in a hard shell that is nearly impossible to brake through, still somewhere in there is the true person who lived before the hardening. The Jewish people went through hardships we can only imagine and dream about in our worst nightmares. Life is full of harsh times but the worst is when mankind would slaughter his own because they are different from them. Life is cruel but so are people, maybe more so then life itself is. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves history, tales of survival, or just loves a real tear-jerker.

Summary: One of the Best I've Ever Read
Review: This book is great. Although sad, it holds your interest all the way to the end. I didn't know if I'd like it when it was assigned for a class, but I wound up reading it in one sitting.

This is a book that everyone should read. I reccomend it.

Summary: Unforgettable message
Review: "Night", by Ellie Wiesel, explains his real life in the Concentration Camps during World War II. His family and friends who were originally from Hungary were Jewish and were forced into starving, suffering, and mistreatment by the German leader, Adolph Hitler. The Nazi death camp's horror turns this young boy into the agonized witness to his family's murder, and the destroys his faith in God. This book awakens the shocking memory of evil at its absolute worst and carries with it the unforgettable message that this horror must never be allowed to happen again.

The autobiographical nature of this book helps the readers identify with all the suffering and mistreatment that many innocent people had to witness and go through. Ellie Wiesel makes the scenes so real that any reader can feel like they were living in the horrible and terrifying events. The scenes are so vivid that the words can picture the Jews during the mistreatment of the Holocaust. Wiesel has described a painful journey through the darkness, through the false dawns and false days, until there are hints that tiny shafts of light can pierce the seemingly unending nights.

Summary: This is a very educational book on the holocaust.
Review: This book is very good. I found it quiet moving at a lot of times. The only thing I didn't like is that during the book he would mention things that he did after the war and it kind of made the book less thrilling. But other than that I thought it was a great book. Another great book is "I am David" if you like "Night" then you'll like "I am David".

Summary: It was ok, better than what I thought it would be.
Review: Night was a good book to understand what someone went though during the Holocaust. It told facts that really happened. I think the people went though lots of pain.

Summary: The most powerful book I have ever read!
Review: Ellie Wiesel presents an autobiography which tells a story in graphic horrifying details on how it was during the holocaust. The book gives a deep understanding of how terrifying it was at each camp the Eiesel went to. The book shows how fragile life really is, and how things all around us could be taken away.

This book conveys knowledge of what really went on in the concentration camps. Everyone will get take away much from this powerful book. "Night" makes one really think that when times get hard, they can always get harder.

Summary: The dramatic story of a family threw the holocaust.
Review: by: Elie Wiesel The book I have read and review on has touched may people in many different ways. The book was called Night by Elie Wiesel. The book was a autobiography that tells a story about a family and their struggles through the holocaust. The story takes place in the camps at Auschwitz, Buna, and Burchenwald. This book hit me very hard, one of the quotes that struck me was when Elie was working in the crematory and one of the workers said, 3Look over there, that is your grave2 meaning that he was going to die and be placed there pretty soon. It made me very angry to know how these people were murdered, tortured, and mutilated. By the ending part of the book Elie and many of the other Jews are being forced into the crematory by the Nazis. The book was all about Eliezer and his family. His father was a very strong, brave man who gives up hope towards the end because of all the torture. The book1s conclusion was very sad and dramatic as many Jews died. For Eliezer he was the only one to survey from his family. At the end, many of the Jews just gave up because of all there struggles, and Eliezer thinks in his mind, 3 my mind was invaded by this realization there was no more reason to live, no more reason to struggle,2 as he sees his father lying dead on the floor. As many more of the Jews still were alive, they all waited for the worst. As they hear a prolonged whistle split the air, the wheels began to grind and they think to themselves, 3we were on our way2 to the gas chambers as others come to fill their place. This book ends sadly as all the Jews face the deaths of their loved ones. As for Elie and his family, he1s the only one that made it out alive after the Russians came and released them.

Summary: It was a realistic and well wrote book.
Review: I throughly enjoyed Night. I appericate the fact that not all Holocaust victims are cheerful and happy they were left to live. He shows how such a horrible thing can affect us all. Elise Wiesel is a very brave man to write such personal thoughts and angers to the public. The book itself is well written, surprisingly so, since it was an autobiography and I doubt he thought he was going to be a writer when he was young. I recommend this book, but be warned, it isn't flowery at all. And Mr.Wiesel makes no attempt to hide just how bad it affected him.

Summary: Great book--makes you understand the suffering in the camps.
Review: This book was so good I could not put it down. Elie Wiesel, in a very thought provoking and emotional book, portrays his experiences in a Nazi concentration camp. His separation from his family and suffering he endures calls for sympathy, and at times tears.
