Night by Elie Wiesel is a powerful and haunting memoir about his experiences in Nazi concentration camps, Auschwitz and Buchenwald, during the Holocaust in 1944-1945. In this brief yet profound narrative, Wiesel recounts the brutal death of innocence and the loss of faith, as he witnesses the horrors around him. The relationship between father and son is inverted as Wiesel’s father declines into a fragile, helpless state, and Wiesel, once a child, becomes his reluctant and resentful caregiver. The narrative explores themes of suffering, survival, and the overwhelming darkness that descended upon humanity during the Holocaust.
