A short book, but a book so full of imagery that turned my stomach and gave me new insight into the horrors of the holocaust. Until I read this book, I did not know how strong the human body could be and how much it could withstand. Until I read this book, I also did not know how strong the power of the human spirit could be. This story is a story that has humbled me and has helped me to re-evaluate the things that important to me, in my life.

A very short book, but each word is written with such force that you will not bear to put it down. The true story invokes the realization the we, as humans, are capable of so much evil, but yet, somehow, through the chaos of Elie's survival, there is yet hope that we can prevail against all odds. This is a must read book for everyone.

A heartbreaking yet beautifully written novel by Elie Wiesel. Reading about his experiences in the concentrations camps are sad, filled with pain and suffering. But Elie continues to feel the pain after all the years. This book was a tremendous read!!! I totally recommend it to adults.
