Be a witness.
ReplyDeleteNight by Elie Wiesel is an absolutely marvelous memoir. Night is a meaningful story about the acts of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis to a boy's family and how this young boy and family struggles through the event. This absolutely interested me and made me want to read it more. As my eyes sprinted over the words in this book I began to feel the characters pain and emotions. This spiritual story follows a 12 yr old boy Elie Wiesel whose life has been circling around a terrible blurred memory of the tragedy's of the slaughtered Jews. It is a written drama that grabs your heart and keeps you turning the pages.
