Body Paragraph
Night is a novel that was written by Elie Wiesel in 1960. This novel is about his experience as a Jew during the Holocaust. The central figure, Eliezer, was a teenage boy who lived in Sighet. He studied the Torah and the Kabbalah with his instructor Moishe the Beadle. After his instructor was deported, he began telling horrifying stories that no one retained. As time passed, Jews were prohibited from owning any gold and they needed to live in small ghettos. In no time, they were compelled into cattle cars for a dreadful journey. Having endured days and nights compressed into the car, weakened and malnourished, the passengers arrived at Birkenau. This was the gateway to Auschwitz, where indescribable torture and separations from their families began to occur.
