Elie Wiesel’s Night is a vivid account of the horrors of the Holocaust. Describing in his memoirs the extent of the horrendous atrocities he both witnessed and experienced‚ Wiesel tells of a boy who is stripped forever of the world he has know. Night tells of not only Wiesel’s stolen innocence‚ but also of the darkness that forever extinguishes the light in both his soul as well as the soul of all those who are touched by this event. His witnessing of good people turned into brutes through atrocities

This passage‚ from Night’s third section‚ occurs just after Eliezer and his father realize they have survived the first 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. As he reflects upon his horrendous first night in the concentration camp and its lasting effect on his life‚ Wiesel introduces the theme of Eliezer’s spiritual crisis

The part that I personally found the most sorrowful in Night written by Elie Wiesel is when he and his father get separated from each other due to his father’s death. The bond between the two was unbreakable and they never thought that they would be able to get through it all without each other. They agreed that neither of them would let this bond fade. This is why when Elie and his father do get separated it is so heartbreaking. They had always agreed that they would of died for one another if it

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. This is an early example of Beckmann’s grotesque and appalling visionary paintings with its misshapen figures. Before us we have an overcrowded room in a modern city. Beckman himself said he wanted this work to be looked upon as a large modern history painting tinged with a sense of evil. Three men have invaded the room and are terrorising

When you are old and gray and full of sleep And nodding by the fire‚ take down this book‚ And slowly read‚ and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once‚ and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace‚ And loved your beauty with love false or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you‚ And loved the sorrows of your changing face. And bending down beside the glowing bars‚ Murmur‚ a little sadly‚ how love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead‚ And hid
