Night, by Elie Wiesel, is perhaps the darkest book ever written. The Holocaust, the destruction of millions
of Jews and other innocent people, is not a subject that is to be ignored or taken lightly. No matter how it pains us to read,
we cannot avoid it. We cannot avoid the nightmare...

Elie Wiesel wrote Night for us, so that we could learn from the past. Many deny the Holocaust's existance. People
can be made to believe any lie, either because they want to believe it's true or because they are afraid it's true. Many want
to believe that the Holocaust was just a nightmare, not real. Oh, it was a nightmare, all right...

Night is the story of Wiesel's time in the concentration camp, at the age of 15. At the
beginning he was separated from all his family save for his father, never to see them again. And his father... Wiesel watched
him slowly die, unable to stay the hand of fate. But can we?
