Night-Graphic Novel

Night, by Elie Wiesel, is a graphic novel of a boys unimaginable account in Jewish concentration camps during World War II. The boy is introduced in the book a very religous boy. His religion was tested as the germans came into his town of Sighet, Transylvania and formed ghettos for the jews to live in and within a week all families were shipped out. Their trip to where they were going was crowded and his account of the ride with a possessed lady screaming fire really got them worried and as they rolled into the town of Auschwitz where they saw horrific buildings with fire and the smell of flesh in the air their lives seemed over. His time spent in camps ruined him as he lost track of his mother and siblings from the second they stepped of the trains, and his father, he was able to spend most of the time with, what happened to him? The horrifying accounts of seeing people hung, executed, burned, and tortured, people of every age sticks in my mind. This book is a great account from a boy who lost everything he had, his innocence, his family, and his God, but lived to tell the story.
I would never recommend a book like this be read at school or given out to students in any form. A book like this could be one recommended to a college student but you would have to really be close to someone to offer this book. If someone is studying life during the holocaust or something of that nature then check it out and know that it is an R rated book. It has text that is easy to read, some sentences don't make very much sense since it was translated from French. Honestly the book was a great read, very interesting; however, the situation the boy went through is unbelievable. Understand this book is a non-fiction account of a real boy and that there are graphic images that will be forced onto the reader through the detail of the boys memories.
