Incredibly powerful book- as are his others Dawn and Day. He came to speak to our school when I was in 7th grade. Definitely an experience I’ll never forget.
Had to read it my junior year of high school it was emotionally moving and has stuck with me all these years. I plan to reread someday. I don’t know why, but I enjoy reading books on the Holocaust.
Amazing book. I taught it for 20 years – even 16 year olds are awed by it! Watch the Oprah Elie Wiesel interview at Auschwitz too – available on you tube
I’ve read his book, and I have a copy of the DVD that he did with Oprah walking through the death camps. Makes you see how fortunate we are living in the U.S.
I’ve read better on the holocaust. If you’re a teacher, I would look at my options as well as think about the depression and anxiety levels of today’s youth. Choose something that makes them think, but follow it with something hopeful and empowering.
@Lynn true stories with endings highlighting survival matter, I speak as a Jr. High SPED teacher. Young minds are under a lot of stress. For example 3, yes 3, teens in my school hub in the past 6 weeks have jumped or threatened to jump off a local overpass into oncoming traffic. One died. One was stopped. Another was “caught” on the top of a big rig by a cooperative trucker. I live in a good middleclass area of Arlington Texas. I have worked with many ED youth. Our kids NEED hope- developmentally, without hope and the maturity to self regulate and apply coping strategies they want to throw themselves off bridges.
I think I read it in high school but picked up my husband’s copy last year and read again. Moving, terrible, and amazing all in one. I think I’ll finish the trilogy thus year.
I just read that book a few weeks ago. It is hard to read but it is a very important book. It reminds us of the violence man can impose on his fellow man. It shows us from the victim’s point of view how that violence forces the victim to do things he never thought he would have to do…
Yes….excellent book. Elie Wiesel writes a trilogy and it’s good to read all three. He writes of his experience in the concentration camp Auschwitz and how he survives it. I feel like it’s his biography.
I agree with Mary White. The book is heartbreaking but shows the indomitable spirit of one man who beat all the odds. Everyone should read this book. It will move you and touch your life in many ways.
Great book, but will definitely stay with you forever. I get so angry at the people that try and claim that the holocaust never happened. How insulting to those who lost their entire families to this kind of hatred.
A very powerful book! I loved it!

I would have given anything to see him in person!
Very short read but very strong book!
It puts life into perspective. It tells us what a struggle truly is and what it looks like to persevere.
It was incredible. I read it many years ago but it has stayed with me…powerful.
Amazing book! Read all three. He wrote a trilogy that explores his return and life after. They are so profound.
Well worth reading!

I don’t know why either, but I do too! This one was one of the toughest but very powerful
Everyone should read memoirs on the holocaust at some point in their lives.
@Tracey I totally agree!
Powerful
@Sue didn’t u read this?
@Kellie yes! It’s good. Some people don’t like cuz they want ‘entertained’ more. It has more serious and factual tone.
Wonderful book.
Very moving
I loved it. It made me cry but it changed my life!
There is a trilogy.
I think Night is the best of the three EVERYONE should read it.

I’ve read his book, and I have a copy of the DVD that he did with Oprah walking through the death camps. Makes you see how fortunate we are living in the U.S.
Great book

There’s not a lot to be hopeful about the Holocaust, especially in the era of Trump.

Not a happy read.
A must read by everyone…..we need to know history so as not to repeat it, my opinion.
Definitely a must read
I absolutely loved it. Captivates and kills your soul in one sitting
Read it and saw him in person. For all those who do not understand the Holocaust a must read.
My favorite book!! So beautifully written and so heart wrenching it puts you in the moment and will change your soul forever
Yes. Profoundly moving. A masterpiece. I think he won a Nobel Prize for this work
I had to read Night in school. I actually enjoyed the book.
This is a great book It truly is a masterpiece and should be read by everyone.
Loved it!
I taught it to freshman students in high school. Vitally important text, especially in this day and age.
Yes I did, it was Stunning.
Yes, was very sad.
Yes, a book about survival of the body, mind and spirit. Moving, sad, revealing all in one.

That story has never left me.
Very moving story.
I think I read it in high school but picked up my husband’s copy last year and read again. Moving, terrible, and amazing all in one. I think I’ll finish the trilogy thus year.
I read that book one Saturday, I literally couldn’t put it down.
I think it’s the first book that brought me to tears (8th grade)
It’s a very important book but difficult to read. I read it as a young teen and I remember thinking about it long after.
I just read that book a few weeks ago. It is hard to read but it is a very important book. It reminds us of the violence man can impose on his fellow man. It shows us from the victim’s point of view how that violence forces the victim to do things he never thought he would have to do…
Unforgettable!!
Yes….excellent book. Elie Wiesel writes a trilogy and it’s good to read all three. He writes of his experience in the concentration camp Auschwitz and how he survives it. I feel like it’s his biography.
A great book…stayed with me to this day.

My son brought it home for me to read, from his required reading. Good book
Loved it
Wow… Great book.
One word—Amazing!
I read it long ago, but I know I enjoyed it. Well worth giving it a try.
Read it in high school and found it very profound. I read Between Shades of Grey shortly after which is another book I think everyone should read
Great book!
I teach it. The students really enjoy it, as I do every time I read it
My daughter brought it home… I never read it… is it very sad??
We should all read it. He was a brave, generous man to share his story with the world.
I agree with Mary White. The book is heartbreaking but shows the indomitable spirit of one man who beat all the odds. Everyone should read this book. It will move you and touch your life in many ways.
Great book, but will definitely stay with you forever. I get so angry at the people that try and claim that the holocaust never happened. How insulting to those who lost their entire families to this kind of hatred.
