This Week's Book Review

Thank you to Mr Higgie, who presented this week's book review at assembly. Mr. Higgie reviewed Night, written by holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel.

"Born in Sighet, Transylvania, Elie Wiesel was a teenager when he and his family were taken from their home in 1944 and deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, and then to Buchenwald. Night is the terrifying record of Elie Wiesel's memories of the death of his family, the death of his own innocence, and his despair as a deeply observant Jew confronting the absolute evil of man."
