Night Reflection
Night is the story of a young boy named Elie who is relocated to a concentration camp. In the beginning his family is forced to move in to a ghetto. Things seem fine at first, until the family learns they are moving to a concentration camp. Soon it is their turn to leave for the camp, and are placed on cattle trains. There is very little room and supplies, but eventually they arrive at the camp.
As soon as they arrive Elie and his father are separated from his mother and sister. All their supplies are taken, and are shaved bald. Soon they are numbered, and their time as a prisoner begins. In the camp, there is hard work and they are constantly relocated to new areas or camps. Many times they are beaten or become ill.
Just as things are looking bad the frontlines approach, and the prisoners are moved to a new camp by marching miles upon miles. The march is horrible and many die, but soon they arrive at the trains. Soon they arrive at their new camp, and Elie’s father is very weak. His father is soon killed off, and the camp is liberated, so Elie becomes free.
I thought the book was great, and very informative about the hardships of the jews. It felt like I was there, but it must have been painful for the jewish people physically and emotionally. The book was short and to the point, which kept me interested the whole time. I now understand better how hard it was for the jewish people to live in such harsh conditions. This is one of the best books i've read in a while.
