About this book

“Night” is a powerful memoir by Elie Wiesel, first published in 1960. It provides a harrowing account of his experiences alongside his father in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps during the Holocaust. The book paints a grim picture of his loss of faith and growing disillusionment with humanity as he narrates his journey from the ghettos in Sighet, Romania, to various concentration camps.

The narrative sees a reversal of the typical parent-child dynamic as his father becomes dependent and Wiesel, then a teenager, assumes the role of his caretaker. His father passed away in January 1945, and the memoir concludes shortly after the liberation of Buchenwald by the United States Army in April 1945. The book is widely regarded as a seminal work in Holocaust literature.
