1. “Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz: This book is about a young teenager boy who survives 10 concentration camps. He is the only one out of his family that survived. The book reminds me of Eli Wiesel who has no family at the end of the Holocaust. Also, the main character is a teenager as he enters the camps like Eliezel. Like Eliezel, he tries to be as kind as he can but struggles with the horrors of the camps. Like the Gruener family survive in cramped spaces and many deportations. Both books find that luck finally runs out. Eli’s father escaped the ‘selections’ until the end as Yanek’s parents experience the same consequence.

I ranked this book #1 because it shows the courage and persistence that Eliezel had …show more content…

7. “Schindler’s List” by Thomas Keneally and Steven Spielberg, producer of movie: This movie/book relates to “Night” as it shows the dignity of the human character in the face of abuse, torture, and evil.

I ranked this movie/book #7 because it is a classic based on a true story that poignantly shows that humans in that circumstance can do good things among the bad.

8. “What Our Father Did: A Nazi Legacy” Director: David Evans: This movie relates to “Night” as it shows the lasting damage that the atrocities of the Holocaust has had on entire lives and even later generations.
The grandson of a Holocaust survivor tracks down the grand children of Nazi camp officiers.

I ranked this movie #8 because it is how the officier’s future grandchildren show remorse and want to do something good because they did not know the true story of their parents. Toward the end, the grandson of the Nazi actually asks the Holocaust survivor’s grandson how he feels about the Holocaust and truly wants to
