Assignment number 1- the Preface of //Night//
Elie Wiesel Elie Wiesel is a Jewish man who survived the holocaust and wrote many books about his experience. His first book is called //And the World Has Remained Silent//, but the abridged version of it is called //Night//. Some of the reasons he wrote his first are because he believed he had a duty to write it, he wrote it in order not to go insane, and the final reason is to tell the story of how he came to be so fortunate to survive the atrocities in concentration camps. Although when he was writing this he had many worries. His main worry was that he was not sure he could put all of the elusive details he encountered in the labor camps. The reason he came out with the abridged version of his first book was because he believed in order for it to be translated it needed to be less personal and he was a new writer just starting off and it took him a couple tries to get it translated. All in all, he turned out to be a great writer who wrote about a time that was not great at all.

A Dark World
Human beings Treated like cattle They are hearded into crematoriams. Babies thrown, Into burning flames.

It was not like this In the beggining. Neither the world Nor the Jews themselves Knew the truths of thier fate.

How could the germans hide Such Horrors and rerrible Acts of violence? How could the world Just remain silent?
