Night

As you can see in my "current reading" list, I've just started Night by Elie Wiesel. This short book (only 109 pages in my copy) is Wiesel's memoir of his experiences as a boy in Nazi ghettoes and then concentration camps. It is a powerful read. The Shoah still has a profound effect in Europe.

In April, 1945, the last of the camps were liberated by Allied forces. After visiting the Deportation Memorial in Paris and then hearing from survivors during the 60th anniversary commemorations two years ago, I decided that I should read this little book every April for the rest of my life. Today, I'm starting my fourth time. I look forward to sharing with you as I go.
