“Night” by Elie Wiesel

Recently,
I’ve read Elie Wiesel’s “Night”. This book is about his experience during the
Holocaust. He spent time in concentration camps and lost every member of his
family along the way. Elie was only a teenager, he was starved, beaten and
became on the verge of losing faith in God.

Before Elie
and his family were sent to concentration camps Elie was a normal teenager in
his home town Sighet, Transylvania.  He spent his time
studying school and religion. He had two sisters and two wonderful parents.

As
people heard of the wars and Jews being taken away no one in Elie’s town
worried. Even when they were on the trains to the concentration camps noone
really knew or believed what was going to happen.

Over the
course of a year in a concentration camp Elie almost lost all faith in himself
and his god. He watched his father be beaten without saying anything. He saw
children being hung. Everything that Elie Wiesel knew before the Holocaust had
long disappeared.
