An enduring classic of Holocaust literature, Night offers a personal and unforgettable account of the appalling horrors of Hitler's reign of terror. Through the eyes of 14-year-old Eliezer, we behold the tragic fate of the Jews from the little town of Sighet. Even as they are stuffed into cattle cars bound for Auschwitz, the townspeople refuse to believe rumors of anti-Semitic atrocities. Not until they are marched toward the blazing crematory at the camp's "reception center" does the terrible truth sink in. Narrator George Guidall intensifies the emotional impact as blind hope turns to utter horror. His performance captures the profound agony of young Eliezer as he witnesses the suffering and death of his family and loses all that he holds sacred.

Good. But a little far fetched

A holocaust memoir that needs to be read and remembered for generations ahead lest we forget the horrific acts committed by one group of people toward another.

Gut-wrenching memoir. It makes one sad to know that even in 20 century, hate for religion, caste , race etc. superseded humanity. As the author mentioned staying silent when one experiences such a torture makes one accomplice to the tormentor. Stories are what have bound mankind for centuries and such powerful stories need to be told so that this doesn’t repeat .
