Night by Elie Wiesel

The most powerful 120 pages I've ever read.

Elie Wiesel won The Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. At the end of the book is his acceptance speech, it is filled with moving words about remembering and not being silent in the face of human suffering. But even more powerful is the story that proceeds it.

The story of his time in concentration camps. The story of his families deaths.

There is an almost matter of fact voice to the telling of the horrors he witnessed and the horrors he experienced. However as you read on the pain and fear becomes palatable. His thirst and hunger, his guilt and shaken faith, and his anger, all begin to leap off the page.

It doesn't matter what your religion or lack there of is, this is something that must be read and shared, if we forget that this awful, terrible and horrific thing happened then we will miss the signs when it happens again and again we will fail to stop it.
