Summary: The Hidden Truth
Review: I recently read "Night" by Elie Wiesel and it really touched me. This book was written in the perspective of a survivor of the Holocaust and this is what makes this a strong book . The author goes into to detail about the horrors of the concentration camps; this of course, sets a melancholy mood. But, I recommend this to anyone and everyone who wish to catch the truth of the Holocaust.

Summary: Night, worth the read
Review: This is an excellent book for the high school and adult reader. It is thought provoking, giving insight into how the german occupation and antisemitism infiltrated this small community. It is written from the prospective of a survior and his family. It demostrates how the Jewish people tried to deal with the holocaust, first having difficulty in believing that is was actually happening then relying on each other for support. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Absolute Must-Read: Will Change Your View of the World!
Review: This is perhaps one of the most influential books produced in the 20th century.

Written by somebody who witnessed the destruction of the Jews in the Holocaust, this book forced confrontation with the issue that many people preferred not to talk about. You might think you knew enough about the Holocaust, but if you haven't read this book (or personally witnessed it first-hand), then you don't know much.

This should be a book that is required for EVERYone in society to read. Let us never forget the lessons that can be learned from this dark period in history.

One of the first startling tragedies exposed in this book is that despite one man's dire warnings, a town completely ignored all the signs and waited for the looming destruction. They had enough time to escape with all the advanced warnings, but they chose to ignore it. Can this be a lesson for us to learn as well?

The book also shows how a young man who was devout in his religion struggles with how a good God could possibly allow the large-scale massacre of innocent human life. How could he praise a God that allows this kind of suffering? He asks, "Why should I bless him? ...Because He had had thousands of children burned in His pits?" Yet, when he doubts the existence of God, he suddenly feels alone in a cold, unloving world.

The author also describes how a once devout Rabbi loses his faith in God. The Rabbi tells him, "It's the end. God is no longer with us... Where is the divine Mercy? Where is God? How can I believe, how could anyone believe, in this merciful God?"

Yet the spiritual breakthrough comes when Elie watches Rabbi Eliahou looking for his son who gave up on him. The Rabbi could not keep up in a long march, and his son, kept on pressing forward farther ahead of him, leaving his father behind. Elie realizes that the son had "sought this separation in order to get rid of the burden, to free himself from an encumbrance which could lessen his own chances of survival." Yet, Elie is "glad that Rabbi Eliahou should continue to look for his beloved son." And he prays that he will never be like the son. He saw God as continuing to look for him, even when Elie had given Him up for dead.

Summary: It was eye-opening
Review: I recently read this book for my honors english class. The scenes that it described and foretold were horrifying and sickening. It made me disgusted and sympathetic at the same time. I think it was, despite the gruesome content, a great literary work. Before anyone makes a judgement of someone for no reason, they should read this book. The horrors of the Nazi regime are unbelievable.

Summary: Night
Review: Night is a reality book. Its very and impacting. It showed me as a fifteen-year-old girl that not everyones life is a walk in the park. People suffer and experience things that are immoral and damaging.Night showed me a new prespective to the Holocaust.Night was easy to comprehend and exciting. You always want to know where they will be sent next and how they will be treated.Most of the time I dont get into books and I dont like to read. I read Night in two days after school and it was very appealing to me.

Summary: Night
Review: I am a high school student in the 10th grade. I don't particularly like to read, but I was assigned the book, and with my average, I had no choice but to read it. At the very beginning, the reading was slow and dull, but as the book went on, it really grabbed my attention. The mental pictures that the author painted were hard to accept as events that some humans actually lived through such torturous times. Anyone who doesn't believe that The Holocaust actually happened, needs to read this book because there is no way that someone could just make all this stuff up. I thourgholy enjoyed this book, and I think that it should be added to the required reading curriculum of most, if not all, schools.

Summary: The Night
Review: THis was an editorial review about the book Night, by Elie Wiesel. It is about his own experience in Birkenau, Auschwitz that it's generally and not inaccurately read as an autobiography. The protagonist in the story is a piou teenager racked with guilt at having survived the genocidal that consumed his family. It said that there were no easy answers in this harrowing book. It marks the crucial first steps in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died.

Summary: Wow!!! A Crowd Pleaser
Review: I have just got done reading "Night" by Elie Wiesel. It was a very good book. I enjoyed this book so much I couldn't put it down. The book gives people a real description of how the Holocaust was, and how the Germans treated the Jews. It is a sad book. The Germans did so many mean things to the Jews. I felt that Elie Weisel did a great job on telling this story and what it was like when the Germans took over; put the Jews on trains, and at the concentration camps. If I was in his position, I don't know if I could let all those people know what happened to him. I would try and forget about it even though you couldn't forget about something like that. I would recommend this book to anyone.
