Night Trilogy: Night, Dawn, Day | 
pickBased solely on the author‘s memoir Night, I would recommend reading this. His writing in Night is so direct and honest. Dawn and Day are the author‘s first two novels, and they both leave me with mixed feelings. The direct style used in Night is not present on the follow-up novels. It‘s as though the author aimed to have a certain degree of gravitas and depth that just didn‘t work. At least pick up and/or give Night a try.

In honor of International Holocaust Memorial Day and for my #NewYearWhoDis challenge with @Kdgordon88 , I‘ve read #Night by Auschwitz survivor Eli Wiedel today. Everyone should read this. It stays with you forever.
As a German, I feel a responsibility to keep these memories alive. Especially now that anti-vaxers are comparing themselves to the victims every Monday in my town, even quoting prominent fascists. Fuck them.

#ForeverNovember Day 1: #StartsWithN - Wiesel‘s Night trilogy was one of my Christmas book haul a few years back and I still have not gotten around to reading it. Here‘s the rest of my book haul: https://wp.me/pDlzr-h0s
pick‘Night‘ is fantastic. The others were and weren‘t my cup of tea at the same time. I really liked and also detested Wiesel‘s introspection, almost in equal measure.
I‘m taking part in an online training event about Night soon, so I thought it might be a good idea to reread it in advance. It‘s as good as I remembered, but it hits harder when you know more about the Holocaust, as I now do. Bath bomb is from Lush, Black Rose I think. It stained the bath (and me) horribly. 🛀 🥀 🛁 🧽 💐 🧼 💣 🌹
Finally reading “Dawn” after all these years. I read “Night” in high school and “Day” 10 years ago. I somehow missed the fact they were part of a trilogy.
Yup....Christmas is definitely over....bring on the cold 🤧
Taking the day on the couch with Joe and some quick books to finish off the year.

A man hates his enemy because he hates his own hate. He says to himself: this fellow, my enemy, has made me capable of hate. I hate him not because he‘s my enemy, not because he hates me, but because he arouses me to hate.
[Preface to Night] I am not so naive as to believe that this slim volume will change the course of history or shake the conscience of the world. Books no longer have the power they once did. Those who kept silence yesterday will remain silent tomorrow.
We are reading Night in the 10th grade inclusion English class that I help out in. The gen-ed teacher recreated a mini interactive holocaust museum and the students went from station to station with a person card. They took a visual tour of Auschwitz, heard a speech by Himmler, learned about propaganda, art, music, poetry and at the end they learned if their person died or not. It was pretty amazing and the students all loved it. ⬇️
Some motivation for your Monday.
Still shaken after this weekend's events, but let's get to work this week. ✊🏾✊🏼✊🏽 #mondaymotivation
The only book I could think of off the top of my head that has a black and white cover. And even it has some red on it. #blackandwhitecover #maybookflowers
"The ghetto was ruled by neither German nor Jew; it was ruled by delusion."
It's a travesty that this book has been sitting upon my shelf for so long without me reading it.
Got a couple of late Christmas presents from my mom tonight. I've read Night before, but haven't read Elie Wiesel's other books. Looking forward to digging into these.

"Night" was the first personal account I read of the Holocaust. I was so deeply moved by it that I read the other two stories. Then I had to go buy the book so I could return the library's copy.
In memory of Elie Wiesel, who would have been 88 today. 💔 My heart hurts every time I think about what he and others endured and that he is now no longer with us. Grateful that he left so many amazing works behind that continue to inspire.

Many years ago, it was my privilege to attend a dinner at which Elie Wiesel spoke. In my whole life, I have never heard anything more moving or meaningful. He made us cry. He made us laugh. He made us all, to a one, want to strive to be better at being human. RIP. Thank you for the gifts you gave.
Such a sad loss. One of the most inspiring authors of our time.
RIP Elie Wiesel. 💔 Thank you for sharing your life story and standing up in the face of adversity. May you rest in peace when your life was troubled with turmoil. 🌹 #RIP
