Night (Night)
1 journaler for this copy...
A slender yet powerful volume. a telling of one small piece of the horror that was the holocaust. One can enjoy the beauty of the writing, but not enjoy the book, which is profoundly painful. And like "The Bells of Nagasaki," an important book, a book we should all read. I'm glad to have found and read "Night;" now I shall look for "Dawn."
from the back:
A terrifying account of the Nazi death camp horror that turns a young Jewish boy into an agonized witness to the death of his family...the death of his innocence...and the death of his God. Penetrating and powerful, as personal as "The Diary of Anne Frank," NIGHT awakens the shocking Memory of evil at its absolute and carries with it the unforgettable message that this horror must never be allowed to happen again.
