Summary: Born into Jewish in Romania, Ellie Wiesel was a teenager when he and his family were rounded up by the Nazis, corralled into trains, and transported first to the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz and then to Buchenwald. This is his terrifying and intimate account of the increasing horrors he endured, the death of his parents and eighty-year-old sister, and the loss of his innocence in barbaric hands. Describing with immense power the murder of a people from a survivor's perspective, Night is among the most personal and poignant of all accounts of the Holocaust and provides rare insight into the darkest side of human nature. It is also a beacon for the enduring power of hope and continues to resonate with readers across the world today. Marion Wiesel's translation of her husband's masterpiece presents the most accurate interpretation of his testimony in English and is accompanied by a preface by the author, in which he reflects on his lifelong dedication to ensuring that the world never forgets its own potential for inhumanity
