Night by Elie Wiesel
This is not an easy book to read. We have all heard about the atrocities of the Holocaust, but it is difficult to imagine the inhumanity. Elie Wiesel narrates the events leading up to the capture and transfer of his family to a concentration camp, the separation from his mother and sister, and the steady deterioration of his father's health and the steady deterioration of his own will to live. His tone is even and carefully paced, almost without emotion. He states the events as if watching in retrospect. We see first-hand how these survivors find a way to live when there is nothing to live for. No one reads this book and remains unmoved.
