Assignment Number One: The Pre-face of //Night//


Elie Weisel as a tribute to those who died in the holocaust by writing the dama //Night//. The reasons he wrote //Night// were to remind people of the horrors that happened at the death camps. He did not people to forget. He also wanted us to remember to be human to one another. He also felt that this event would be judge someday. He wrote //Night// from an earlier translation in a yiddish version. Why make a new one when the old one was just fine? Well he wanted to take out some personal detals and add some critical ones. One thing is for certian Elie is right about one thing history tends to repeat itself.

Down in the Buring Ring of Fire
Do you see that chimney over there? We saw flames rising from a tall chimney into the black sky That’s where they will take you Over there will be your grave Poor devils you are headed for the crematorium I was saying goodbye to my father My heart was about to burst I was face-to-face with the angel of death So many crazed men So much shouting So much brutality Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transform into smoke Never shall I forget that smoke Never shall I forget those flames Never shall I forget those things
