Assignment 1: The preface of //Night//
Elie Wiesel Memoir



There are many reasons why Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor, wrote //And the World has Remained Silent,// which was written in Yiddish. Then it was later made into the //Night//, which is the English version. There are three main reasons why he wrote his book. The first reason was because he thought that since he survived the Holocaust and that there were people more deserving than him, he had to give some meaning to his survival. Another reason why he wrote //And the World has Remained Silent// was because he thought that someone who has caused so much harm should not have their crimes erased from human history, so he wrote //And the World has Remained Silent// to remind everyone of the damage he or she may cause in the future so that it never happens again. The third and final reason why he wrote his book was because he wanted to go mad to understand the nature of madness, and the immense terrifying madness that had happened in history. Elie Wiesel had also worried about many things during his experiences a few of them were he didn’t know how he could invent a new language when it became necessary. He was also worried about and upset about how he never helped his father when he was getting beaten by the SS, and another thing he worried about was all the killing of innocent people that Hitler had ordered. Elie Wiesel wrote the //Night//, the English version, years after the Yiddish version because his English was poor back then, but as time went on his British publisher said he had found a translator for him. He translated his book, so that everyone in the world could enjoy his book, and it is now widely read around the world.

Assignment #3: Found Poem
The Worst Night My father was crying My mother in deep thought I had no strength left and the journey had just begun

By dawn we were in the street, ready to leave I was forced into cattle cars with eighty people After two days of travel, thirst became intolerable Tomorrow could be worse

We were finally under the control of the German Army The world had become a hermetically sealed car On the third night we were huddled against each other Panic had struck us

Our terror could no longer be contained The night seemed endless We had finally arrived in Birkenau
