NIGHT- "A Book"

         Night

 A GOOD READ

        by Elie Wiesel

 Perhaps to begin I might say maybe this book should not be called a GOOD READ. One of my Grandson’s who is in High School, was assigned to read it. He in turn called me and asked if I would like to read along with him. 

*It was a riveting book.

*It made me wonder how much inhumanity a person can be put through before they go mad?

*How much can one endure and still keep hoping that the next day will be better?

*I thought it was a dark book, but it was written to preserve a memory of dark things done in a dark time.

*I am glad I read it—once I started it I could not put it down. I read it in two days, and even though I am finished and reviewed it in my mind, I still have many thoughts about how human beings can treat others, and not seem to think it is wrong?

   I would suggest it to anyone who is interested in the Holocaust.
