Reviews
"A slim volume of terrifying power." --The New York Times
"Required reading for all humanity." --Oprah Winfrey "Wiesel has taken his own anguish and imaginatively metamorphosed it into art." --Curt Leviant, Saturday Review "To the best of my knowledge no one . . . has left behind him so moving a record." --Alfred Kazin, The Reporter "What makes this book so chilling is not the pretense of what happened but a very real description of every thought, fear and the apathetic attitude demonstrated as a response . . . Night, Wiesel's autobiographical masterpiece, is a heartbreaking memoir. Wiesel has taken his painful memories and channeled them into an amazing document which chronicles his most intense emotions every step along the way." --Jose Del Real, Anchorage Daily News "As a human document, Night is almost unbearably painful, and certainly beyond criticism." --A. Alvarez, Commentary
