Book Review: Night by Elie Wiesel

The book Night, by Elie Wiesel, is about the holocaust, and death camps, and it is the author's personal account of this experience. Lots of rumours fly around the small villiage of Transyilvania where Elie lives. Then one day, out of nowhere, German soldiers arrive. In a matter of weeks the Germans had taken over the small town. People were restricted in where they could go and were forced into smaller and smaller areas of land. Elie watched as his friends and relatives were taken away, to a secret location. Then one day they came for him. Elie and his family were forced from their home, all possesions stripped from them. They were completely at the hands of the Germans. Taken to the camps by train, and packed in the cars they were tortured, and forced watch many of their friends and family die around them.
