Night

Origin
Elie Wiesel's Night is an autobiography of his experiences with his father in the Nazi German concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald during the height of the Holocaust. When Wiesel was sixteen the camp was liberated, too late for his father who died a few months earlier. Upon being freed Wiesel moved to Paris to write the book in Yiddish about his experiences. Night is actually the first in Wiesel's trilogy about his journey from darkness to light, when everything came to an end - man, history, religion, God.

Effects
Hopelessness, the pain of everyone in the camps was absorbed into the pages.
