Night
SUMMARY
Night
is Elie Wiesel's personal account of the Holocaust as
seen through the eyes of a 15-year-old boy.
 The
book describes Wiesel's first encounter with prejudice
and details the persecution of a people and the loss
of his family. Wiesel's experiences in the death camps
of Auschwitz and Buchenwald are detailed; his accounts
of starvation and brutality are shattering vivid
testimony to the consequences of evil. Throughout the
book, Wiesel speaks of the struggle to survive, the
fight to stay alive while retaining those qualities
that make us human. While Wiesel lost his innocence
and many of his beliefs, he never lost his sense of
compassion nor his inherent sense of right. ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
Elie
Wiesel was only twelve years old when, in 1941, the
events of World War II and the Holocaust invaded his
home in Sighet, Transylvania. His childhood was cut
short, his dreams and beliefs shattered, as he
witnessed the death of his family and his people in
the Nazi death camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald.
After the war, Wiesel took a 10-year vow of silence
before he attempted to put into words the horror and
pain of the Holocaust. When he finally wrote Night,
Wiesel had difficulty finding a publisher, for it was
believed that few would want to read such
heart-wrenching words. Today it is one of the most
read and respected books on the Holocaust.
After
World War II, Wiesel lived in Paris, France, for 10
years where he studied at the Sorbonne and worked as a
journalist, traveling to both Israel and the United
States. Eventually, Wiesel moved to the United States
and currently lives in New York City. In 1976, Wiesel
became the Andrew Mellon Professor in the Humanities
at Boston University. His book Night has been followed
by other equally powerful books. Against Silence: The
Voice and Vision of Elie Wiesel is a three-volume
collection of his work. In 1985, Elie Wiesel was the
recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal and in 1986,
he was honored with one of the greatest of all awards,
the Nobel Peace Prize.
Over
the years, Wiesel has, in a sense, become the soul of
the Holocaust. His books and lectures compel us to not
only confront the issues and consequences of the
Holocaust, but to keep it in our memory to ensure that
history is never repeated. He lives his life, he
explains, in the pursuit of meaning. Wiesel has
traveled all over the world, including Bosnia, where
he attempted to assist with the peace efforts. His
eloquence, sensitivity, and insights serve as the
voice for those who can no longer speak.
