From the Publisher:

Born in the town of Sighet, Transylvania, Elie Wiesel


was a teenager when he and his family were taken
from their home in 1944 to the Auschwitz
concentration camp, and then to Buchenwald. Night is
the terrifying record of Elie Wiesel's memories of the
death of his family, the death of his own innocence,
and his despair as a deeply observant Jew confronting
the absolute evil of man.
Night is Elie Wiesel's testimony to what happened in
the camps and his unforgettable message that this
horror must never be allowed to happen again.
Look for the new edition published by Hill and Wang.

"If in my lifetime I was to write


only one book, this would be the
one." Elie Wiesel
