Night by Elie Wiesel brings back the traumatic events of Holocaust. The true story Night begins with a twelve year old boy named Elie who lives in the small village of Sighet, Romania with his father and mother. His instructor returns from a near death experience and warns them of Nazi aggressors that will soon threaten the peacefulness of their lives. Elie and his father remain calm until they are shipped (with many other Jews) in the spring on a convoy headed for Auschwitz-Birkenau complex, a concentration camp. Elie uses metaphors of “night” to convey darkness, death, and loss of faith used as a symbol for enduring the horrible conditions and traumatic events.
I believe, Jennifer A Nilsen, the author, chose East Germany as the setting of, “A Night Divided” because, East Germany was the heart of the Berlin Wall. The East suffered much more than the West. The West had it much more sunshine and happy cakes. Poverty was low, life expectancy was higher, there was freedom, and education. People from the East wanted to escape into the West.

In the story the reader will see from from eliezer’s perspective because while he is experiencing these events he thinks about it in his mind so psychological he will explain what’s happening in the camp.

Night by Elie Wiesel: Although Wiesel writes about his own experience in a concentration camp during the Holocaust, both books main characters are children who are asked to have courageous and brave acts through frightening moments. Rating:
Night is told from the first person perspective of a twelve year old Jewish boy. In Night, Jews were discriminated against, captured and sent to concentration camps. Families were separated, women and children were killed and men played a game of survival of the fittest, in hopes of seeing better days. The “strongest” got to stay alive and were moved to another concentration campus, which might have been worse than the last, while the weaker ones were killed. Justice was presented at the advantage of the stronger in this novel because eventually Eliezer, the narrator was freed and able to account the horrible story of previous happenings.
The novel Night by Elie Wiesel, which was first published in 1958, tells a great first-hand account of a terrible event named the Holocaust.

As the Holocaust continues to go on around them, he and his family remain optimistic about their future. Even though they were optimistic, the Holocaust finally closes in on them. Once this occurs they were pulled away from their homeland and relocated to their designated site where they were split by gender.
It centers around a 9-year-old boy who meets a new friend; the friend lives on the other side of the wall. The side where the jews work all day.
