Elie Wiesel
A new translation from the French by Marion Wiesel. 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.

"Such an important piece of personal history in the Holocaust, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and the Congressional Gold Medal.
Ellie Weisel is a chance survivor of the horrors of the concentration camps who uses his voice to memorialize history that can’t be forgotten. "

"A memoir about a teenage boy in the Nazi death camps. Very sad...it reminded me of A Mans Search For Meaning or The Choice. It is good to remember these people and their stories."
