Night• A memoir about what

the Holocaust did to Wiesel, to Jews, and to humanity.

• Wiesel shows the spiritual beating the Jews suffered, the loss of faith they suffered, and the physical brutality they suffered.

• At the end of the war, Elie feels he has been robbed of his soul. He has lost all faith in God and his fellow man, and these losses are the obstacles he must overcome.
