Book Report On Night By Elie Wiesel

498 Words2 Pages

The book that I will be describing today is Night by Elie Wiesel. The book Night symbolizes how Elie’s life has been ever since he was taken away from home. On the first couple of pages it explains how he didn’t write the book just for him to go mad or to go mad so that people would understand the madness he went through. Just from the first page you can tell that this will be a good book because of the tone used. What happened in the book?, you may ask. Well, Elie was a strong believer of God and he would go to the synagogue once or twice a day. Elie says “one day I asked my father to find me a master who could guide him to his studies of Kabbalah.” But his father Told him that he is way too young to learn about Kabbalah. Yep that’s right he is fascinated by God. Every now and then when Elie would be walking home from the house of worship, there would be a rumor about how the Germans would be in town soon. But no one believed it until two Germans arrived smack dab in the center of town. When all Jews were escorted to a place called the ghettos that when things started to click in for the Jews.

On the picture when I saw the ghettos it looked worse then I thought it would be from when I read the book. Even though the museum didn’t show many things that Elie was saying. Also in the museum there was no pictures of Elie which was surprising to me because we talked about him multiple times in class but I didn’t see him in the picture or in the famous Jew section which was in the lobby. The Auschwitz entrance looked the same as it did when we looked at it in class. Those are the two things that I was looking for when I walked in the museum because that is all we talked about in

    The last passage in the book, on page 115, stood out to me the most. Elie Wiesel describes the first time he looks at himself in the mirror since he was in the ghetto, and he is stunned by what he sees. This passage highlights how severely the Holocaust affected Elie, as well as millions of other Jews. It had not only separated Elie from his family, who he would never see again, but it stripped him of his humanity. Before the war, and even in the ghetto, Elie had hope, his family, his faith, and his innocence.

At the beginning his father seemed really religious and always talk about his love for God. Near the end of the book however, Elie mentions nothing about his dad even mentioning. I think if his dad was an honest faithful man that no matter the situation he would be encouraging faith at the hardest times. I wonder if Elie forgot these discussions with his dad because times were so hard or if they actually never happened and he wasn’t as religious as I thought he
