In Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's memoir Night, a scholarly, pious teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust and the genocidal campaign that consumed his family. His memories of the nightmare world of the death camps present him with an intolerable question: how can the God he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves. It marks the crucial first step in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died.

Night (Oprah's Book Club) reviews by customers
 Night
This was a wonderful book. It really made me think about the holocaust and all that those people endured. The personal touch made me not only read, but also feel.
 A must-read...
This is without a doubt Oprah's wisest choice ever for her popular book club. Even though Elie Wiesel's NIGHT is difficult and painful to read at times, this work's importance lies in its simple, pure power. It gives a reader an unprecedented understanding of the event it describes, and does so poignantly, vividly, perfectly. NIGHT is a must read for anyone who knows the story of the Holocaust, and more of a must read for anyone who THINKS they know the story. The Holocaust was more than a historical event; it was a human event and we must never forget it. We must never allow our children to forget it. I am a student-teacher and there is no doubt that when I have my own classroom, this book will be there for my middle school students to read and discuss, alongside THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK. This is one of only a few novels I have read in my lifetime that I believe truly changed me. And, at the risk of being repetitive, it is not to be missed.
Absolutely Amazing
To be brief, I find it very hard to believe what those people went through. I do believe every word of it,,,, its just hard to understand why someone would even want to live through it. Fantastic, fascinating book. I've read it twice so far and re-read several sections over and over. Oprah's BEST PICK!
