Elie Wiesel, an award-winning author, has some very good reasons to write the novel //Night//. The first reason Elie chose for writing this novel is to tell the world of what he saw when he arrived at the evil slaughter house known as a concentration camp. Elie was not a strong and built man, he was a shy and skinny young man that had no idea of what was to come. Elie’s survival was a miracle. Elie’s survival was a sign to write this horrendously strong novel. Elie’s second reason is his determination not to let the world forget what happened in those dreadful camps. The world sometimes forgets that millions of innocent Jewish men, woman, and children were violently murdered with no sympathy. Elie’s novel expresses that importance and after reading this novel no one will ever forget. Elie’s final reason is to tell his story of captivity in a concentration camp and his experiences with Nazi Germany. After reading the preface I learned that his experience was one he shall never forget, and he has lived his life by the troubles he has over come in the camp. Elie’s life is a symbol of hope that will linger through the bookshelves of the world and show us what horror man has overcome.

**Barracks**
Barracks

Wooden and Stone

Intimidating, Haunting, and Creaking

Like the call of a lone wolf and as Dark as a pitch black night

A place of rest for the Jews

Housing

From night to night

Consumed Faith

One long night seven times sealed My heart was about to burst Everything was fading into a fog Shivering in the darkness We were withered trees in the heart of the dessert

This is what the antechamber of hell must look like Night was falling rapidly Heavy snow continued to fall over the corpses Dusk had fallen It was already time to part

The evening meal was distributed The darkness enveloped us In the shadows of the gallows There was silence Night
