Holocaust. Even this word alone can still dredge up ominous feelings of dread. "Such a terrible thing that happened," we might say. The truth of the matter is that we cannot even begin to fathom the true depths of the events and emotions that took place during that time period. One man, however, has tried to give life to these sensations in his book titled Night. Elie Wiesel lived through the time of the nazi concentration camps and devoted his life to tell others of his story. The book may not seem very long, given the subject matter it covers, but who needs a novel when every word tells a story in and of itself? Night is more than just a retelling of the events of a man's life; it is a hard-hitting composition that deals with complex social and spiritual morals that effect everyone.
