About this ebook
A new translation from the French by Marion Wiesel. Night is Elie Wiesel's masterpiece, a candid, horrific, and deeply poignant autobiographical account of his survival as a teenager in the Nazi death camps.
This new translation by Marion Wiesel, Elie's wife and frequent translator, presents this seminal memoir in the language and spirit truest to the author's original intent. And in a substantive new preface, Elie reflects on the enduring importance of Night and his lifelong, passionate dedication to ensuring that the world never forgets man's capacity for inhumanity to man.
Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be.

To speak of it as a true nightmarish, living hell account would e an understatement. For Mr. Weisel to have survived to share this history o German Nazis' -n- cronies' evil, hateful, murderous, race-idolatry, satanically-inspired crimes is astounding to say the least. Thank you for sharing, Mr. Weisel! I am truly sorry that you and fellow victims have experienced so much pain and suffering. I recommend that your book be included in junior high history class.

If you're looking to read this just for the hell of it go ahead and purchase this. If you are trying to find quotes and use this for school it is nearly impossible to match up the pages to the actual book. For some reason you can't request the actual pages like you can with tons of other Google play books. I'm going to tryv the Kindle version. For some reason I am unable to receive a refund.
