Assignment #1: The Preface of //Night//
In the preface of //Night,// Elie Wiesel explains why he wrote this memoir and some background of his time in the concentration camps. The main reason why he decided to write //Night// and the original manuscript //And the World Remained Silent// was so that nothing like what he went through would ever happen again. Another reason Wiesel wrote this book was because he felt like it was the reason for his survival. He also wanted to write it so that he would not go mad and because he could not bear to stay silent anymore. When he wrote his memoirs he was worried that people would not understand what he was trying to say because words could not describe his feelings. He then decided to write his translation, //Night// when he was older because he wanted to be a more experienced writer when he wrote it. By writing this memoir Wiesel hopes to testify as a witness and protect his past from becoming the youth of today’s future.
