Wiesel was 15 years old when he was sent to Auschwitz with his mother, father, and three sisters. Wiesel recalls his horrifying ordeal, including the sadistic Nazi overseers, the death of his mother and younger sister, watching fellow prisoners disappear into the crematorium, the bloody death march to Gleiwitz, and the heartbreaking fatal beating of his father only months before the camp’s liberation. Night is a poignant representation of one young Jewish man’s pain amidst the violent details of the worst genocide in world history. It is an invaluable record of the past as well as an ever-relevant warning about the consequences of fascism and bigotry.
