Silence In The Book Night By Elie Wiesel

The Holocaust was the mass murder of millions of Jews and other people which took place in Europe between 1933 and 1945. The book Night by Elie Wiesel, the movie “The boy in the striped pajamas” and the article “A Secret Life” are based on things that happened and how it affected the characters in all the three works.
