"Night" By Elie Weisel (Sighet,Romania)

The literature says about the region (Germany) that it's from is that there are grassy areas everywhere and very harsh winters. Also, between 1940-1945 the jews were killed  thousands upon thousands because of Adolf Hitler's hatred towards Jews. Since germany had a lot of land everywhere, the Nazis started to build concentration camps to keep the Jews contained in one area.The Nazis also made the Jews as their slaves. Also, they killed a lot of jewish babies.












Something I will remember longest about this book is the horror's the Nazis did to exterminate the Jews and the methods they developed to kill the Jews also. The images that will stick to me is the ones of the elders and the babies being burned in the furnaces. The events in this book has changed my way of thinking because it made me appreciate what I have and the meaning of family. The parts I found the saddest was when all the people were judged upon what they are and because Hitller blamed everything on the Jews. I was really angry when Hilter blamed the Jews for something they didn't even do.
