About Night

I just read Night by Elie Widsel. It is his true story of being a Jewish boy of 14 and being sent to one of the concentration camps. Actually, over his stay, he was at more than one camp. This is not a book about the crematoriums. It's a story about what happened to all of the people who didn't go to the crematoriums and what happened when they were liberated at the end of the war. I found it to be brutal but not harrowing. I am highly recommending that everyone read it. It's a short book. A very quick read. And his main point in writing it, and his point when he accepted a Nobel Peace Prize many years later, is that we should never forget. And oh, how we'd like to forget. Read it!
