Sometimes people suddenly turn into crazy, insatiable cannibals. Such episodes are included in the annals of human history, the name of one of them is the Holocaust - the Burnt Offering - the Catastrophe - the Shoah. The author of this book, Elie Wiesel, a writer, philosopher, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was the first to call the tragedy of the Jews during World War II this way. You are holding in your hands a heartbreaking chronicle, "Night", an autobiographical story about a boy who survived the hell of Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Buchenwald. This book will not cause a storm of emotions, the heat of the camp ovens will dry up your tears, and only dry rage and a promise to remember and not remain silent will remain.
An incredible book, the beginning of something new in both literature and religion. This is a book about power, cruelty, violence, meanness, about constant fear, about emptiness, about the weakness of the body and the thirst for life... This is a book about what we must know! This is a book about what we must remember! - Irving Abrahamson, publisher
"Night" is a literary masterpiece. It is a book of shadows without light, a desperate attempt to describe extermination. Each of its pages is "strewn" with corpses. This book is a cry, but not of hope, but of horror and despair. - Florence Gabet, Vice-President of the Robert Schuman Institute in Europe
The artist of words Wiesel embodied in his outstanding personality and in his fascinating books the victory of the human spirit over cruelty and evil. - Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel I

Born in the town of Sighet, Transylvania, Elie Wiesel was a teenager when he and his family were taken from their home in 1944 to Auschwitz concentration camp, and then to Buchenwald. Night is the terrifying record of Elie Wiesel's memories of the death of his family, the death of his own innocence, and his despair as a deeply observant Jew confronting the absolute evil of man. This new translation by his wife and most frequent translator, Marion Wiesel, corrects important details and presents the most accurate rendering in English of Elie Wiesel's testimony to what happened in the camps and of his unforgettable message that this horror must simply never be allowed to happen again.
