Reflection On Night By Elie Wiesel
“To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time” (Elie Wiesel). This is but one of many insightful quotes we can take from Elie Wiesel’s Night. In my eleven years of schooling in which time I have read over one hundred novels; Night is by far the most captivating and suspenseful. This is the best book of its kind because of the rare firsthand telling by Holocaust victim Elie Wiesel.
Using his firsthand account of The Holocaust, Wiesel communicates a vivid telling which enables readers to feel as if they went through the perils themselves. The book appeals to a worldwide audience due to the fact that it retells one of the most infamous events in history. The New York Times described Night as ”A slim volume of terrifying power”.
