Assignment # 1-The Preface of //Night//
In Elie Wiesel’s new translation //Night// he writes about why and what made him write about his time in the concentration camps. He originally wrote a longer version in his mother tongue Yiddish which was called //And the World Remains Silent// but he edited it and his wife translated it into //Night//. One of the reasons he wrote //Night// was that he felt he had to be a witness for the dead and living survivors so he could tell what went on in the camps. Wiesel was also worried about his book never being accepted and read by people because they did not want to remember the tragedy of the Holocaust. He also wanted people to understand that what happened there and all of the brutal killings was not a hoax. He felt that he could not keep quiet about it no matter how hard he tried. He is now grateful that people everywhere accept the book in schools and that they know that the terrible things that happened were real.

Assignment #3-Found Poem
 Losing Hope Forbidden to go outside There was little air,it was Saturday The Sabbath Thirst became intolerable Our eyes opened,too late

The doors were nailed We had fallen into a trap,up to our necks The way back irrevocably cut off Our nerves reached a breaking point Madness had infected all of us

We felt free The final destination Conditions were good Confidence soared We gave thanks to God
