Night is Elie Wiesel's masterpiece, a candid, horrific, and deeply poignant autobiographical account of his survival as a teenager in the Nazi death camps. This new translation by Marion Wiesel, Elie's wife and frequent translator, presents this seminal memoir in the language and spirit truest to the author's original intent. And in a substantive new preface, Elie reflects on the enduring importance of Night and his lifelong, passionate dedication to ensuring that the world never forgets man's capacity for inhumanity to man. Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be. - Publisher.

Review of 'Night (Elie Wiesel Collection Ser.)' on 'Goodreads'

Elie Wiesel's Night is a retelling of what happened to him during World War 2. In a Nazi death camp, he witnesses the death of his family, the death of his innocence and the death of his God.

Night shows you evil at its peak and convinces you that this horror must never be allowed to happen again.

If more people read Night, there would be fewer fascists in the world.

It’s a powerful book that’s very hard to forget. I experienced the tiniest fraction of the Holocaust vicariously through Elie Wiesel’s account of what happened to him during World War 2, and even trying to remember how I felt when I read Night leaves me physically shook and deeply sad.

It’s not an easy read but now more than ever you have an obligation to read it to make it clear to you what happens when fascists take over.
