Night, an autobiography by Elie Wiesel, goes through the trials and tribulations that a young Elie had to face being a Jewish child during the Holocaust. He tells us of how him and his family were sent to the dirty, diseased filled ghettos before taking the most horrible train ride to the concentration camps. You can really feel his emotions when describing how him and his father had to be separated from his mother and sisters. He described how brutal they treated him at the camp, making him shower and stand naked in almost freezing temperatures, sleeping in disease filled bunk beds with two or three people in it already, and of course being starved to death while forced to do hard labor. This is all through the duration of six months. Towards the end, he tells us of his father's death and how he is later freed by the enemies of the Nazi's.
