Night by Elie Wiesel
Type: Memoir
My rating: 3 stars (out of 5)
Why I chose it: This story about a survivor from the Holocaust caught my eye and has been on my bookshelf for some time. I recently met a young student who had to read the book as part of an English assignment in high school. That interaction caused me to pick it up and read it.
What I liked about it: This is a very sad story told from the perspective of a 15-year old on being taken from his home along with his family to concentration camps. The boy questions how God could allow such monstrous events to happen. I am saddened that such atrocities could happen and that humans could possibly cause so much harm to other humans.
