    Night In NightElie Wiesel used his words to describe his experiences in a way that evoked many emotions for me; those being upset‚ horrified‚ and outraged.

Wiesel’s depiction of his first night in Birkenau was especially painful to read; his repetition of the phrase “Never shall I forget” is surely something I will never forget. He mentions flames he saw‚ the horrifying silence‚ the depravity
