Night

Night is a disturbing and poignant account of Elie Wiesel's survival as a teenager in the Nazi death camps. This new translation by his wife, Marion Wiesel, presents the seminal memoir in the language and spirit truest to the author's original intent. A thought-provoking preface by Wiesel reflects on the enduring importance of Night and his lifelong dedication to ensuring that the world never forgets man's capacity for inhumanity to man. Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be.
