Every time I read this moving testament of the Holocaust with my students, I am reminded of the power of words and how they have the ability to change the world, to touch the heart, to fill the spirit. I see it in my students' eyes-as they experience the novel and truly open their hearts to the amazing words...I am grateful for such a wonderful piece of literature.

When I read "Night" by Elie Wiesel the impact it had on me was enormous. I suddenly understood the power that words had.I understood how evil and cruel men can be.I understood how one person can change the world.But most importantly of all, I understood how one mans book can touch the lives of so many.

Dream as if you'll live forever
Live as if you'll die today.
Obviously when something touches you deeply, you keep it forever. This experience that Elie went through is life changing and life teaching. Now, what does this book makes me want to do?Just keep quiet and wait for someone else to do the difference for me? I don't think so!! I'm here to fight and to fight for injustice because it shoulld not be allowed. Throughout my experience of studying about Elie's experience I have learned that the world and God gave him a second chance and for a reason. To make a difference. If we don't have to go through a torture, why don't we stand up, raise our hand, and let our voice be heard? I believe this is the only way we will be heard.

"Night" encouraged me to read books, to learn about the real world, to dive into history and analyze it. It showed me how the real world can sometimes be. Elie Wiesel trusted me and all of us to learn about his life, family and friends. To learn about the Holocaust, one of the world's largest, most horrifying events in history.

The man behind it all ... is Adolf Hitler. No words can describe him except for one ... a monster. That doesn't even describe the half of him. This monster, this excuse for a human, this piece of filth is evil beyond ... I can't explain that. What he did to those people is unforgivable. He destroyed so many lives of Jews and others. What hits me most is that he just took their lives because he disliked them. He was just a racist towards them. That is what hurts because many of those people could have made a great contribution to society ... find a cure for cancer or created a memorable piece of music or art. They could have done something good in society ... something great.

Elie Wiesel inspired me to make a difference in the world, just like he did. He truely touched me just by knowing that his mother, father, and sister died during the Holocaust, but he was one of the lucky ones who survived the horror of the Holocaust. It makes me wonder how he could have lived so many years without his parents, without their love, and without someone caring for him. I know that I couldn't have lived so many years without my parents.
That is why we should appreciate everything you have and every moment of your life. It made me realize the true meaning of life and why you should value your life and what you have because one day you might lose it all like those many Jews who lost everything, even some of their family members during the Holocaust.

     Elie Wiesel, may just sound like a common name of any other. But to me Elie Wiesel is not just a name of a person, he is the true meaning of a hero. Reading "Night" has impacted me so much. Throughout the whole book while my eyes were moving quickly from word to word, yet still taking in the meaning, the book made me feel guilty in a way. It let me open my eyes to the true meaning of suffering, true meaning to pain and the true meaning of being lost. For me pain use to be when my mother would tell me no or when i did'nt get what i wanted. But now after finishing this book, my pain is like a grain of sand in the ocean, it could never compare to living death everyday. Compared to them, i could have been the most luckiest person in the world, to have my family, loved ones and to live without the thought of "am i going to be living tomorrow?", what a horrible thought.
      The Holocaust can never be forgotten, so i believe. I know it'll always have a special place in my complicated heart. What people do in society now is exactly what started the Holocaust then. I believe we can never say the Holocaust can never happen again.

With his memoir "Night," Weisel shows how the Holocaust is not irrelevant and how we must learn from the past in order to move foward in the future. Before "Night" I didn't know what suffering was. Before "Night" I didn't know what pain was. My idea of pain and suffering was closing the car door on my fingers, Weisel's idea of is walking through freezing snow with a broken leg. Weisel survived beatings and days of starvation, while the only thing I've survived is not getting what I want. This reading experience has shown me the horrors of the world and how easy I have it. Weisel has shown me how we not only need to raise awareness of the cruelty in life but stop it when we see  it.

When i read Elie Wiesel's book "Night", i couldn't believe what had gone on in those concintration camps. And i think it is so amazing and brave of him to relive his experiances and tell us his story. He tells us of the suffering and the pain he went threw, and it is unspeakable. All of this that went on in those camps just shows how wrong and messed up this world is. How can anyone, in this world, do anything as terrible and cruel as kill someone for one thing that shouldn't matter. Their religion. Jewish mothers and children huddled in corners in the gas chambers. Praying, hoping, and crying for a miracle. If i was there, i wouldn't have lasted...

         sometimes I feel spiritless .I remember the holocaust .my problems are not even a tenth of those of Elie Wisel's .My problems are just temporary  problems that would go away in a few months or even days .They don't even leave much pain but those of Elie Wisel's would never be forgotten and will hurt forever.
         How difficult would it be to survive that they had to fight for their life and even kill their own family for food. Today we fight for simple things we think are ours  can you imagine them? How how would they haved like just one fourth of what each one of us have . They had to fight for life and food while we fight for satisfaction.

The word genocide is a strong word that has exteme mass murder,when i think of the word i think of war but the next level by describing the attrocities of the "Holocaust" exterminating the jews which was a humongous bloodbath.Who did this and why,"Adolf Hitler" leader of the Nazis regime and the extermination of th jews.

The Holocaust was the most horrible thing that happened in the history of the society.Yes people may say its not real but they just don't want to face reality.Its all past but its something to remember,the past was like a big storm that happened 60 years ago but seems like it happened yesterday.That storm destroyed many families and their lifes.The Holocaust ended people desire to live.

As I closed my book I felt a small tear run down my face. It was then that I realized that the world can be kept silent. I am a Christian and when I read what they were doing to the jews just because of their religon I thought to myself, " imagine facing death every day." Since then I've thought so differently. I don't think the way I use to think, I don't laugh at those critical and mean jokes,nor do I make jokes of them. We always seem to start new fights, new wars, of course thats the easy part, but to end it? Together we can stop this from happening. Together we can stop this hate, these grudges that we have against each other, this anguish that we have. We have an obligation to the people who have suffered so much.
