Synopsis
First published in 1958, this raw, devastatingly haunting Holocaust memoir is Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel's best known work. After the German army invades, they first confine the Jewish community of Sighet, Transylvania, into a ghetto, and then pack them into cattle cars bound for the concentration camps. Fifteen-year-old Eliezer and his father, alone after the Nazis take away his mother and sisters, experience unbearable horrors at Birkenau, Auschwitz, and Buchenwald that undermine Elie's faith in God and come close to destroying his humanity. This new translation, which hews more closely to the original Yiddish text than previous editions, was chosen for Oprah's Book Club in 2006.

Industry Reviews
"NIGHT is the most devastating account of the Holocaust that I have ever read. It is devastating first because of its simplicity....The second reason NIGHT is incomparably devastating has less to do with the facts of Wiesel's story than with the way he tells them. The book is exquisitely constructed....One has the sense of merciless experience mercilessly distilled to its essence."
