This is a very short book, so I was able to finish listening in a few hours. I read the physical book several years ago and listening to it now had the same effect as then. I cried, I was angry and I was frustrated. What‘s going on in Israel and the West Bank is not much different (in my opinion) than what happened back then. The government of Israel is using a different means with the same goal. Extermination. #ceasefirenow

“Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be.”

I tend to read more fiction than nonfiction, but I still find it too difficult not to separate the categories. #2023readingbracket #nonfiction

Amiable Totally! I read both genres equally, and I separate them into different brackets. It‘s too difficult to compare fiction to NF— the reading experience isn‘t the same and I‘m looking for different things from each genre. 12mo

I re-read this with my teens. Such a powerful read. The horrors in this book still render me speechless, even though I know they are coming. How could a human do these acts to another? The greatest takeaway message for me was the authors hope in humanity, and tireless acts to improve the world, despite what he went through. He didn‘t give up, and wanted us to love one another. So powerful

Is there anything to say about this book that hasn‘t been said? An anguished, loving, beautiful tribute to the immense strength of people who resisted, endured, or died in the Nazi holocaust. Wiesel was a teen when his Jewish family in rural Romania was sent to Auschwitz after months of rumors and occupation: he remained completely dedicated to sustaining his elderly father with himself.

I had:

'Night' by Elie Wiesel will be the one that will stick with me for a long time.

Overall, a good month🙃

Wow! I finished this last night, but had to take a minute before I read it. So glad @rachelk put me on to it.

I think everyone should read this book. Just to witness from someone who was there, is unbelievable. I cried. To think people can be so cruel. I pray nothing like the Holocaust never happens again. But, when we don't learn from history, it is bound to repeat itself.

TheDaysGoBy I have memories of reading this in elementary school if you can believe it (probably 5th grade). I feel like I absolutely need a reread of it given how young I was when I read it the first time 2y
rachelk That‘s the way I felt too. It‘s painful but important. I recently read ‘The Diary of Anne Frank‘ and couldn‘t help but think about how ‘Night‘ picks up where Anne‘s diary stops. 2y

This is a tough book. It is also a necessary book. I used a personal connection with my own students to help them understand that this is still affecting people in so many ways. (I have ancestors I can‘t trace too far because the church where our records were kept was ordered to be burned down.) We shall never forget, and we MUST never forget. #RoryGilmoreChallenge

AmyG Never Forget. I am happy to hear you are teaching this. Eapecially now with what Kanye and Kyrie have said about Jews, men that young people listen to. 2y
AshleyHoss820 @AmyG I don‘t know what Kanye said (I can‘t stand him), but I have heard that he‘s been making some stupid remarks. While that‘s not surprising, you are right. We HAVE to counteract those derogatory viewpoints. It is SO imperative that we NEVER let this memory slip. 2y

AshleyHoss820 @vivastory It is definitely one of those stories, Scott! I had read it many years ago, when my oldest was only two. I had to keep pausing to hold him to remind myself he was safe. He‘s 19 now, but going through this with the students…I was surprised how much I remembered. 2y

Night was awarded the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize. It is the memoir of Elie Wiesel who as a teenager was taken from his home to a concentration camp during the Holocaust. I read this moving account about fifteen years ago. Just over 100 pages, I recommend it to everyone. #TeamSlaughter #scarathlon

My daughter taking a class in Holocaust Literature so after she was finished with it. I picked it up. I'm numb with emotions and in a book hangover from this true story of a survivor who was only around 15 at the time. Been awhile since a book has made me cry.

I finally read this classic testimony of the horrors Elie Wiesel had experienced in the camps. Brutally honest, it's a very moving account that should be on everyone's reading list. He describes first the denial of his Jewish community when told about the dangers they would soon face, then he describes with a candid honesty how people did their best to survive.

I'm not scared of ghosts, monsters, or anything else that falls under the same category.
I'm terrified of PEOPLE!
I believe people are the ones we should fear. The ones capable of the most outrageous crimes. That's why I chose this book as my Scariest Book for the #horrorlitchallenge @horrorprompts Day 4.
It's not a horror book, it's the Fact that it's a NON FICTION book, which makes it super scary. A true HORROR.

What's your scariest book?

Vansa That's a really thoughtful post. Very true. 3y
Cazxxx I totally agree! Non fiction is much more frightening than fiction. The things that humans are capable of are terrifying 3y

This was a hard book to listen to (I did the audio)but the true story that it told was amazing.I‘ve read many books about WW2 and the holocaust, but this is the first non-fiction.It was written by a survivor who experienced the atrocities as a child.It hit home every time I realized that what he was describing really happened to him.I enjoyed the authors add on.I think he was a hero, and understand why this book won a Pulitzer Prize

What are you reading, watching, listening to for International Holocaust Remembrance Day? What are you going to do in this coming year to combat antisemitism? Let Auschwitz remind you to never stay silent. Holocaust Remembrance Day isn‘t only about remembering those 6 million Jews, 6 million souls but to also honour the ones that survived. Today I honour my grandparents and remember the 11+ souls of my lost family members.

Post 4 /4. My first read of the new year...was the most depressing book I've ever read. This first hand perspective of Auschwitz is a unique one. Wiesel packs years of horror, history, and his own personal development into a little over 100 pages, telling his story in a blunt, brutal, but eloquent way. An important book everyone should read.

Kenyazero A brutal start to your new year, for certain. An excellent read, though. 3y

#GratefulHarvest - Begins with N: Night
We all know this book. Many folks, like I, have read it more than once as a reminder, as a promise to never forget. To never close our eyes to the evil that men do. To deeply mine the crevices of our thoughts in search of the fears and painful realities that haunt us. To watch the idle hands of men for the prospect of unkindness and savage behaviour. We are either perpetrators or victims or witnesses.👇🏽

Nute We cannot afford to wonder at the silence of voices and the inactions of human folk that allow horrific atrocities to happen. All narratives must be heard. All voices must be raised to honor lives lost, lives altered, lives subjected to inhumanity and injustices. Action against repetitive inhumane conduct is mandated. We can be a better people.👇🏽 3y
Nute Elie Wiesel‘s memories of the horror and brutality of the Holocaust leave no room for criticism. It is simply the truth of ugliness. It is the documentation of a human experience that is beyond painful, beyond profound, beyond disturbing, beyond evil. It is unbearable to read, to pull inside. But…it happened thus it deserves every telling, every examination. Please read. (edited) 3y
TrishB It is very moving. And I totally agree, we can be better people. 3y

#BookReport

The romances got me through days where I wasn‘t concentrating on what I was reading/hearing. I do not know why I waited so long to read Night. Maybe reading WWII Fiction instead protected my heart a little bit. It is impossible for me to imagine what Elie experienced and I struggle to comprehend that the world allowed this to happen. I just know we can never let it happen again and I truly believe we were on that path no so long ago

Cinfhen Night is one of the only books I‘ve read multiple times and it breaks my heart EVERY TIME!!! In February 2020 I went on a Jewish Heritage Tour and visited Auschwitz, Birkenau and other concentration camps. To physically walk on the hallowed grounds, and see the bunkers, gas chambers & crematoriums was truly life changing. Scary how little our world has changed 😣 3y
