Night

Night describes Elie Wiesel's experiences and emotions at the hands of the Nazis during the Holocaust: the roundup of his family and neighbors; deportation by cattle car to the concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau; the division of his family forever during the selection process; the mental and physical anguish he and his fellow prisoners experienced as they were stripped of their humanity; and the death march to Buchenwald, where his father died just days before American troops liberated the camp.
