Elie Wiesel was born September 30th, 1928 in Sighet, Transylvania in a community made up of mainly Orthodox Jews. The main characters of this book are Madame Schachter, Juliek, Shlomo, Eliezer and Moshe the Beadle. In the beginning of the book the time period is around 1940 when there were restrictions set upon Jews by Hungary but by then was still a calm period of time in reality.

The person’s name was Moshe, whom was one of the boy’s instructors. As his instructor, they further went on to discuss religious topics of the Jewish religion, and one day they conversed a new an aspect of most religions, prayer. Moshe explains to Wiesel that the need of prayer is to gain the strength to ask God the correct questions. Later on, Hungarian police found Moshe and force him out of Sighet, because he was foreign. He was going to be sent to a German death camp in Poland, but luckily somehow he escaped and returned to Sighet. Because the Holocaust was not raging intensely around Transylvania at the time, the Jews of Sighet were in disbelief of Moshe’s tale of devastation. Drastic changes occurred in every Jews everyday life once the Hungarian Jews were decimated in 1944. As the Germans began occupying Hungary, Sighet Jews were forced to live with quarantines, face the destruction of their property, and wear the yellow stars that they were tagged with. After that they were sent off to somewhere in the ghetto. They suffered horrible transportation conditions they were tightly packed into train cars, with an unknown destination and no bathrooms or food. Eventually
Micaela Ladjevic Professor Hernandez English 1 Honors October 25, 2017 Title In Elie Wiesel’s holocaust narrative, Night, Elie is a sixteen year old boy who lives during World War II and the Holocaust. In the midst of Elie’s World War II experience, Elie has an extra burden weighing him down-- his father.
Elie Wiesel was a survivor of the Holocaust that occurred during WWII. After surviving, he wrote the book Night describing what he went through. Elie and his family get removed from their home and transported to concentration camps. He describes this thoughts and feelings as he goes through these events. Elie survived the holocaust all based on chance.
“Night” was a non-fictional book written by Elie Wiesel. The story revolves around the author’s personal experiences regarding the Holocaust, the treacherous event where the Nazis heartlessly slaughtered the Jews. But why did the author name the book “Night”? Could it have been given some other title?
The book called “Night” is a great book to read about survival of the fittest. The book was written by a man named Elie Wiesel and was about his experience during the Holocaust. His book has some interesting parts about how he and other Jews saw the Holocaust before and after they were taken to concentration camps. Before the Jews were taken to the camps, they thought that since the war was so far away and was going to end soon, they were safe. That soon changed because they had the chance to run and hide, but did not take it.
Night is just one of many memoirs written by Eliezer Wiesel, who survived the vicious and the infamous Holocaust during the calamitous WWII. The renowned legend Eliezer Wiese, including his book Night, showed a variety of different concepts as in his dauntlessness, intrepidity, and sanguineness for his desire to survive. During this period he faced many tribulations as in tyrannical hardships; he experienced many spiritual differences as well. He had to face many crucibles during his time in the Holocaust. Night is one big predicament which includes many lessons of life.
The book Night is a very descriptive book about the holocaust and the man who wrote the book Elie Wiesel has showed the cruelty that people can be but also shows how people still resist to what was happening to them not a mass of people but enough for him to notice. “A violin in a dark barrack where the dead were piled on top of the living? Who was this madman who played the violin here, at the edge of his own grave?” (Wiesel 95). The person who played the violin was a kid around the same age as Elie named Juliek.
The book I read was Night written by Elie Wiesel this book takes place at Nazi concentration camps called Auschwitz and Buchenwald during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel's main reason in writing Night was to show the world what he expierenced and to show what destruction mankind can do to each other. I also believe Wiesel wrote Night to prevent the horrific things that happened during the Holocaust to happen again. Another reason I think Wiesel wrote Night was to remember all the people that died at the hands of the Nazis so they can not be forgotten. When I first read Night my first thought was disbelief because I could not believe how much pain was inflicted on the Jews during the Holocaust and how Elie survived the Nazi concentration camps to
