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.
