This was the overall topic of Night and how everyone though the Holocaust was. To begin‚ I agree with Wiesel’s statement because‚ the people have no one to help them and they keep getting hurt. In the poem‚ “First They Came‚” the soldiers kept coming back each day to take more and

In the memoir “Night”‚ Elizer Wiesel describes what he and his father had to endure when they were captured from their homes and brought to Auschwitz‚ a concentration camp.
