Night is Elie Wiesel’s harrowing autobiographical memoir detailing his survival as a teenager in the Nazi death camps. This specific English translation by his wife, Marion Wiesel, is widely regarded as truest to the author's original intent.
The book is universally recognized as a seminal work of Holocaust literature, capturing the profound loss of faith and humanity experienced by prisoners in Auschwitz and Buchenwald. The narrative spans his pre-war youth in Sighet, Transylvania, through his harrowing liberation in 1945.
