Description
The year was 1944. The village of Sighet in Hungary had been grasped by the evil and unrelenting hand of Hitler, and its people hurtled down into the black depths of annihilation. For the next year, young Elie Wiesel witnessed the agonizing, tortured death of all he loved - family, friends, and religious devotion. Birkenua, Auschwitz, Buna, Buchenwald. That he survived these death camps is a miracle even he finds impossible to comprehend. Night is Wiesel's memoir of the Holocaust as told through the eyes of a 15-year-old. The author was awarded the Congressional Medal of Freedom in 1985, and in 1986 the Nobel Peace Prize for his enduring efforts to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive so that such a tragedy would not repeat itself.
