The book Night, written by Elie Wiesel, is a horrifying, historic account of Wiesel’s time in multiple German concentration camps. His work gained him a Nobel Peace Prize. His acceptance speech and further lectures enlightened many other readers. Elie Wiesel’s eye-opening Night is very relevant for real life.

over the minority groups of the Jewish and the Tutsi’s. The novel, Night, tells the story of a teenager, Elie Wiesel, being taken and moved to the Auschwitz concentration camp and then to the Buchenwald Concentration camp.

This quote resembles how unbelievably horrifying the Holocaust was for Elie Wiesel.

From Elie Wiesel’s book Night I learned that Jews could have escaped the Shoah; also I learned reasons why Jews stayed home and didn’t flee from the hands of the Hungarian Police and the Nazi’s. Elie Wiesel claims that others said, “ ‘Hitler will not be able to harm us, even if he wants to…’ ” (p. 8). This represents the terribly mistaken certainty of the Jews in Signet during the Holocaust. Jews didn’t flee when they had the chance and the warning because they did not think it would possible that
God and religion are core themes laced into every page of Night, and several times Elie does question the presence of God in a completely raw and emotional state through the use of Christian themes, loss of civil rights, and influences from other people around him, in fact renouncing God’s presence with Jews in their time of need. The question of god is perhaps the towering question that confronts all of humanity at one time or another, but faced with a hell on earth scenario, adding forced seclusion
being hated by the Nazis for who they are. In Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night, he tells the petrifying experiences he suffered through that scarred him forever.

In his address to Ronald Reagan, Elie Wiesel attempts to convince the president not to visit the Bitburg cemetery. Weisel is well aware of President Reagan’s situation, and thus, he crafts his speech around rhetorical techniques, namely concession refutation, repetition, and the appeals.

The Night Trilogy is made of three books written by Elie Wiesel. Each book highlights a time period in Wiesel’s life; the first being about his time during the holocaust as a Jew, the second about his time in a Jewish underground movement, the third about his time after the war and his struggle to live a normal life.
