Night Outside Reading Bryce Evason

The book Night is written by Elie Wiesel about the Nazi extermination of the Jews known as the Holocaust. The book is not a truly a memoir because it is narrated by Eliezer, a Jewish teenager Wiesel created. In the spring of 1944, the Nazis occupied Hungary. Not long afterward, a series of repressive measures were passed, and the Jews of Eliezer’s home town were forced into small ghettos. In a time of complete and terrible destruction of human lives there is no where to look other than to faith. In this book the author discusses the need for faith to get through such a terrible time in a persons life. They discuss how when nothing else is working dealing with a situation like that in order to come out alive one must believe in something more, something that will get them through the impossible odds that people are faced and hopefully come out on top in the end.
