Assignment # 1: The Preface of //Night//
Wiesel’s reasons Elie Wiesel, a holocaust survivor, felt that it was his duty to pass on the tale of horror onto future generations. He did this by writing //And the World Remained Silent// which was later translated into French, English, and many other languages. Elie had many reasons for Writing //Night// and //And the World Remained//, but he had three main reasons. The first of these reasons was the he felt that he survived for a reason so he gave his life to literature. Another reason was to keep the Nazi’s crimes from being erased from history. The third and final reason was leave behind a legacy of memories so that history will never have the chance to repeat such an atrocity. The Priest that published his book remembered seeing a cattle car with an extremely large amount of Jewish childrenin them and Wiesel tells him that he was one of those children. What Wiesel explains in the preface is that people can never forget their past for if theey do it could be the end of them.

Running
We marched without faltering We were running Like automatons like a machine We were running Trampled under feet Shivered with every step We were running Out of breath, out of strength, desperate Not even realizing to no longer exisist Death We were running
