__Assignment number one: The preface of__ //__Night__//
Elie Wiesel is a holocaust survivor who wrote a very inspiring, memorable book, //Night,// about the evils he witnessed firsthand. From what I understand Elie does not quite understand why he wrote it. What he does know is that he had to preserve the past to let the world know the real truths of the holocaust. To Elie, any survivor has the duties to tell their story to respect those who died, teach the younger generations, and to not let the criminals have one last victory by having their deeds of evil be forgotten. Anyone that does not is disrespecting the dead by letting them die a second time. Because the numbers of survivors are shrinking daily, Wiesel wrote this book so that his story no longer must be told by mouth. The original version was written in Yiddish and //Night// is the latest edition, translated to english by his wife.

We felt this was not a bad thing. It’s not lethal. Time had slowed down. A summer sun. We were exhausted. Trying to hold her hand. There’s nothing there… Stroking her hand. Without music but in step. We were lucky. With a startlingly wizened face. Waiting in line. Without fail. The day will come but not now. We were anxious.
