was the truth‚ austerely (plainly) handed down to every Jew and prisoner who was detained and imprisoned in Auschwitz‚ whether in Night or Maus the notion was the same.

Night The Holocaust was an awful thing. I don’t think it was right at all. It definitely should not had happen at all. It was an unlawful act by humans on other humans. Ellie and all the other survivors are very brave and courageous people for sharing the horrific stories with the rest of the world.
