"Night"- Overview/ final thoughts

Overall, "Night" was a very good book. It made me feel emotions about the Holocaust that i had never ever felt before. I felt angry and sad simultaneously. The fact that the Nazis killed 11 million innocent people (Jews, Poles, gypsies, homosexuals, disabled people, etc.) is just mind-blowing. I mean, how cruel can you be? I guess we have an idea...Nonetheless, "Night" definitely is a book that can sway your emotions to a new low. I felt deeply moved by the following quote on pages 61-62; "Where is God? Where is He?" someone behind me asked....And I heard a voice within me answer him: "Where is he? Here He is-He is hanging here on the gallows." To me, this is the most powerful quote in the book. It perfectly captures the loss of one's faith in their god and it also captures the loss of hope in a dark time. That was the case for the author Elie Wiesel. He had no faith in God. He felt that God had just let the Germans basically destroy humanity. In conclusion, i loved "Night" not just because it was a good book, but it had to ability to sway my emotions from neutral to sad and angry. Not many books do that to me...
