Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never. For many months, fifteen-year-old Elie tries to ignore the rumors he is hearing. Surely Jews aren?t being locked up like prisoners in their own neighborhoods. And no soldiers, no matter how brutal, could really execute an entire trainload of prisoners. Or could they? When Elie and his family are marched onto a train bound for Auschwitz, he finds out for himself what human beings can do to each other. In this harrowing, personal account of his time in a concentration camp, Elie Wiesel conveys a powerful message about how we relate to each other that pertains as much to the present as it does to the past. This complete study edition of Elie Wiesel?s Night includes photographs from the concentration camps, historical background, questions, writing ideas, and projects to help you understand this dark period in history. Related readings by Paul Celan, Art Spiegelman, and others illustrate and expand on themes from Wiesel?s memoir.

Contains a complete plot summary and analysis of Elie Wiesel's "Night", as well as discussion of the characters, themes, and includes study questions.

A survivor of one of modern history’s most horrific events, Elie Wiesel has spent his life ensuring that the world never forgets the Holocaust. Sent to Auschwitz during World War II, young Elie was forced to live in profoundly inhumane conditions ruled by terrifying guards. Eventually liberated, Wiesel never shook the injustice of what happened to his family and 6 million other Jews. His training as a journalist enabled him to write the seminal book Night, a memoir of his experience at Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. Elie Wiesel traces the remarkable life of a tireless advocate for human rights.
