Night
The holocaust through the eyes of a survivor
The Holocaust slithered in like a deadly snake, persuasive, unseen and thoroughly poisonous. It created the right conditions: then it pounced on its prey, suddenly. The Night tells the story of Eiezel, a Romanian Jew, deported as a child to the German concentration camps, victim - like millions of other human beings - of a spiral of events that saw evil take over and then destroy everything that it means to be human: the body, the mind, the emotions, the spirit and faith, dignity, even life itself. From one concentration camp to another, from terrible living conditions to worse ones, until the final mockery of the evacuation: Eiezel loses his loved ones, he loses himself, and even loses God. It took years for him to find the courage to tell this story.
