Night
By: Elie Wiesel
Is a novel about a young man who recalls his experience in the Holocaust. Elie is deported from the town of Sighet in Transylvania to the concentration camps. When Elie arrives at the concentration camps he is separated from his mother and sisters. Elie and his father stay together and suppport each other throughout the whole experience. When entering Auschwitz Elie becomes number A-7713. Elie witnesses a young boy kill his father for food and horrible treatment given to his father. At the end Elie survives, however, his father dies from weakness. On April 11, 1945 American tanks arrive at Buchenweld.

I enjoyed reading this novel because as a reader I felt as if I was a prisoner in a concentration camp. One thing I didn’t enjoy was the horrible treatment given to innocent people and it was a little hard to read some sections of the novel such as when Elie was getting hit. What I admired from Elie was his concern to save his gold crown and how he accomplished his goals.
