Foreward and Preface summary Elie Wiesel had many reasons for writing //And the World Has Remained Silent// and Night, and here are a few. First, he wrote it to leave behind a legacy of words so history would not repeat itself. He also wanted to let the world know about the horrible events that had happened and no one really knew about it. Last, Elie feel that along with people books have a destiny, and even though the destiny of this book may be sorrow he wanted it published for all of the world to know the cruelty that was happening. Elie worried about people really not caring about this event when he wrote the book. He believed that people would not be interested or that other surviving criminals of the Holocaust could make other people believe the whole thing was a hoax. Elie wrote the new translations for several reasons. One was that at the time when he first wrote it he barely knew English. Another, is because his British publisher found a translator, but now his wife Marion translates his books because she can transmit his voice better than anyone else.
