Night (audio)

By Elie Wiesel

This is the classic book on the Holocaust.  Elie Wiesel was sent to the concentration camps with his family during World War II.  His mother and younger sister were immediately thrown into the crematorium.  He and his dad survived the Nazi concentration camp, though his dad died shortly after the war on the journey home.

Wiesel went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize for this book.

It is a brief book, but so powerful.  He is a writer, and the story could not be more poignant.

Wiesel would be considered the chief writer of the Holocaust survivors.  This is his most first and most famous work.
