selection at Birkenau. It is perhaps Night’s most famous passage‚ notable because it is one of the few moments in the memoir where Eliezer breaks out of the continuous narrative stream with which he tells his tale.

I chose the poem "Dark swallows will" by Gustavo A. Becquer for this project. The reason I chose it is because I’ve read a lot of other poems by Bequer and have liked them.

My featured painting today entitled The Night was painted by Max Beckmann during 1918 and 1919. It is housed at the Kunstammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen‚ Dusseldorf.
