Introduction

Night by Elie Wiesel

Prior to reading this book, I've taken classes that discussed the Holocaust. I know all about Hitler and what he did to the Jews. Hitler set up many concentration camps and moved all the Jews into these camps to create a session of racial cleansing. I have seen many videos on his speeches and I have seen pictures of the concentration camps themselves.

This book adds to my knowledge of the Holocaust, along with more knowledge of what it was like to live in one of the concentration camps. I have never been exposed to what it felt like to actually be living through one of these camps, and this book gives a great insight into what the camps were all about. In the pre-read, the author was right: there is not enough words in the world to describe what it was like.
