Nobel Peace Prize-winner Elie Wiesel's text about the horrors of the Holocaust transports readers to a nightmare world in which human decency is threadbare and justice has been extinguished: the world of Night. How can one explain the inhuman violence the Nazis inflicted on the Jews? How can one imagine it?
Wiesel's book is his testimony, his memorial to those he will not allow the world to forget. For high-school students, it's also a tragic masterpiece full of dark ironies and recurring motifs, making it perfect for literary analysis.
