Night

sheldon_rapoza shared a tip "A memoir about a teenage boy in the Nazi death camps. Very sad...it reminded me of A Mans Search For Meaning or The Choice. It is good to remember these people and their stories."

StonesToThrow shared a tip "I remember reading this as a class in school, that was about 7 years ago, and I still find myself thinking about it when my mind wanders."

jade_matthies shared a tip "This book impacted me in ways that I can’t even put into words. I felt every emotion humanely possible. It made me more empathetic. It taught me what true strength, hope, and resilience is."

shayla_smith_5679 shared a tip "This was one of the books we had to read in high school. I read this and sobbed and still wonder why they made us read this book as still very young teenagers. I was thankful my teacher wouldn't do tests every chapter until after discussion. I'm all for knowing history, and I'm all for teaching to ensure these tragedies never happen again. However, I will never be okay with what happened in the book. Which should really speak volumes about the author, his experiences, and the entirety of WWII."

savannah_chance shared a tip "Night is the book that started my love for Elie Wiesel. Definitely my favorite author of all time. Also did you know night is actually part of a trilogy? Night, Dawn, and Day?"

sara_anderson_7082 shared a tip "This is a story about beautiful people in a true h*ll. Their true character shines through this impossibly dark time. I dont have to tell you its hard to read but I can tell you its worth reading. I could only read a little at a time."

judy_k_5131 shared a tip "So so so well written and a short, engaging read. A needed read for those mature enough to know what happened to the Jews during the Holocaust."

liannysml shared a tip "This book is so inspiring. Doesn’t matter if you’re into fiction, mystery, or even romance, you should definitely give this book a try. It contains so much information and changes your perspective on how the world is. Blessings to the writer Elie Wiesel that had to go through all of that 🙏."

chile shared a tip "elie wiesel is a fantasic author. his writing and his story was heartbreaking but painted so well. i really enjoyed this book. it made me cry though."

joan_harper shared a tip "Every human needs to read Night. It is difficult to fathom such cruelty but people need to know. If we don’t know history we are destined to repeat it."

cheri_mitton shared a tip "Each and every person on the planet should read this book. Heart wrenching but still uplifting when you look at how Elie Wiesel lived his life."

placestoconstrue shared a tip "This true story will make you cry. Elie Wiesel's Night is an unforgettable read about his time in concentration camps. His words get under your skin and reminds you of what really matters in life. It also reminds you of how awful humans can be. No one, especially the surviors, will never forget the Holocaust. This book deserves all of the recognition it has received and more. For more in depth reviews, go to www.romancealacreme.com"

talin_lopez shared a tip "I’ve finished reading a couple of other books, if you like thriller then you would love, Behind Her Eyes. Another book that I read was In Five Years. What kind of books do you like to read?"

alexis_van_soelen shared a tip "This book is a must read. Ellie Wiesel is a survivor of the Holocaust and the narrative is from a child's perspective living through, enduring, and overcoming this tragic time in our history. It wasn't gruesome, but gave enough imagery to understand the pain he was going through. If my kids don't read this in school, I'm for sure going to be reading this with them when they are in middle school/high school."

destini_west shared a tip "It’s been awhile since I’ve read it. I was in high school and going to Germany so I was really into learning about the concentration camps. Such a great book."

jessica_ogren shared a tip "Putting it down is an injustice! A book worthy of reading in one afternoon. Words can't describe this snapshot view into one of histories darkest passages of time."

james_lunghi shared a tip "The first time was in 8th grade. I think this book should be read in more middle schools to teach empathy and the honor the victims of the holocaust. Its a graphic story of a man sharing his escape story from a nazi concentration camp. I think this book helped shape my over feelings towards others through the depth of his ability to depict in vivid detail the horrors he escaped and the anguish of losing everything. This should be read in middle school or read along with Anne frank in school."

sarah_gautam shared a tip "Heartbreaking first hand account of the tough choices and thoughts the author had to endure. The hope and drive makes you keep rooting for everyone. The words they speak about losing their faith and justice and mercy has the reader also questioning."

jamie_farrar shared a tip "I can’t, NOT read this book every April. Not sure why April, but that’s what it’s set to for me. This is an amazing memoir for the man Elie Weisel and his like and experience during the Holocaust. I believe it was him, or another author who wrote “the tattooist of auchwitz”, who passed before they could finish and their son had to complete the writing for history’s sake."

carter_vaughn_2525 shared a tip "It's a tear jerker for sure, very surreal read. I thought it was a fantastic, eye opening account of the events surrounding the holocaust, although if you are sensitive to that type of thing, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it."

mxivvs shared a tip "This book is amazing. It's captivating and that's coming from a person who is not quite fond of autobiographies and stuff within that genre. It's not a long read and it is a true thing that has happened unfortunately in history. This story is definitely a 10/10. I loved the use of figurative language as well, It helps visualize and feel what the author went through."
