And that's not just because of its descriptions of brutality and dehumanization and unimaginable cruelty. It's because this story is for real. It's a memoir by a man who was a Jewish teenager living in Europe during the Holocaust—and who managed to survive to tell about it. Eliezer is a pretty average teenager when "Night" begins. He goes to school, practices his religion, doesn't think much about the future. But then the Nazis show up. Then Eliezer says goodbye to his mother and sisters—forever. And then begins the most terrifying journey of Eliezer's life. Elie Wiesel's "Night" isn't an easy book to read. What Eliezer goes through is painful and haunting and, in places, almost unbearably upsetting. But the pinprick of light in all the darkness is that Eliezer does survive to tell his story—and to testify to the remarkable strength of the human spirit.
