Night by Elie Wiesel No one wants to read a book as morbid as Night. There is no one (apart from Nazis and neo-Nazis) who likes to read about things like the torture, starvation, and beatings that people suffered in concentration camps. Night is a horrific story of murder and man's inhumanity to man. We must, however, read these types of books regardless. It is an endlessly depressing subject, but because of its truthfulness and genuine historical value, it is a story we must learn, simply because it is important to never forget. As Robert McAfee Brown states in the preface to his memoir, “the world had to hear a story it would have preferred not to hear: the story of how an educated people turned to genocide and how the rest of the world, also made up of educated people, remained silent in the face of the genocide." Elie Wiesel paid close attention to the inner desire and need to serve humanity by illuminating the past darkened by hatred. Night is a terrifying tale of a Nazi death camp that transforms Elie Wiesel from a young Jewish boy into an anguished and grieving witness. to the death of his family, the death of his friends, even the death of his own innocence and his faith in God. He saw his family, his friends and his fellow Jews first seriously degraded and then sadistically murdered. He enters the field as a child and leaves as a man. At the end of the book, Elie bears little resemblance to the boy who left Sighet almost a year earlier. Night is an exquisitely written memoir. Wiesel's eloquence makes his descriptions seem frighteningly real and repugnant. It is a book about what the Holocaust did, not just to the Jews, but to humanity. People all over the world found themselves affected by this heinous act. Even today, there are a number of survivors who are tormented by their experience every day of their lives. The Wiesels have, throughout the novel, several opportunities to escape Sighet and the camp itself, but they are stubborn in their beliefs and refuse to heed the warnings. Moshe the Beadle, Elie's mentor at the beginning of the novel, while Elie is still a deeply religious young man, manages to escape the Gestapo in Poland. He returns to Sighet to deliver his message and try to warn the people of the pending situation. The villagers, however, believe that Moshe has lost his mind, they find... in the center of the paper... and" it was Elie's body, but not only had he lost so many kilos that he looked like a walking being. skeleton , but he had also been robbed of his soul. This is similar to the loss suffered by people around the world. Although several survivors are still alive physically, their minds and spirits are long dead, or at least most of them. Recovering his spirit, his personality, even his faith, when he is released, is the most difficult obstacle for Elie to overcome. Night tells the story of innocent victims. It is the story of people who were destroyed simply because they were Jews. These people had done nothing and yet they were tortured, degraded and liquidated for no other reason than their belief in the Jewish religion and their Semitic “racial inferiority” Wiesel witnesses all these horrible things and, reading his memoirs, we too become witnesses. He is a spokesperson for all those who can't stand to speak and convey the message to us, the next generation. We are the ones who have the obligation to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive. We must take advantage of his eloquence and his importance, which we will never forget, so that this never happens again.
