Night
Overview & Summary
Elie Wiesel's memoir recounts his teenage experience in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps, where he was separated from his mother and sisters (whom he never saw again) and endured forced labor, starvation, and the slow erosion of his religious faith alongside his father, whose decline he witnessed firsthand. Spare and devastating, Night is among the most widely taught and translated firsthand accounts of the Holocaust ever written, and it won Wiesel the Nobel Peace Prize's recognition for his lifelong advocacy against genocide and indifference.
