Mla Citation For Night By Elie Wiesel

In 1939, a man named Adolf Hitler, a veteran of WW1, rose to power with a group of people in the “Nazi Party” and they had planned to overthrow the government. Their big plan led to a mass genocide of many groups of people but the most well-known group of that was the Jewish people.
