Night by Elie Wiesel


I'd read this book in jr. high school and I'd completely forgotten what it was like.  It wasn't as graphic as some of the other things I've read about the holocaust.  I'm sure he witnessed many more terrible things than he included in this.  This is a survivor's true account.  What sticks out for me now, is the hours and hours of running.  Having no food or water, being treated so poorly, and being expected to run vast distances.  The holocaust fascinates me.  That something like this happened.  It is horrific.  Death marches.  Anyway, it is short and a quick read if you're interested in this history.
