Night by Elie Wiesel
The short novel Night by Elie Wiesel was a first hand account of what happened to many Jewish people during the Holocaust. Elie is the main character and the narrator of this book. The story takes place in many concentration camps around Europe. This book shows us how his innocence was quickly lost and how fast he had to grow up.
