Reliving the mortifying events of the Jewish Holocaust, Elie Wiesel's Night, recalls his experiences as a survivor of one of the world's most heartbreaking events. Wiesel addresses the epic of the holocaust, through the eyes of Eliezer, who represents the Wiesel. As he journeys through crematories, Eliezer describes the observations he makes of the casualties and honors that was occurring in Germany. Originally from Hungary, separated from his mother and sister and eventually sent to Buchenwald, where his father dies of inhumane conditions and Eliezer is freed by the American Forces, Eliezer reflects the reality of death and inquires on the existence of God.
I found this book nerve racking, shocking and simply genuine. I felt that Wiesel did a good job at writing the cruelties of hatred, that was the holocaust.
Why wouldn't Wiesel write and autobiography of himself,with no pseudonyms, instead of the novel?
