About this listen

 Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and the Congressional Gold Medal, Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel offers an unforgettable account of Hitler's horrific reign of terror in Night. This definitive edition features a new translation from the original French by Wiesel's wife and frequent translator, Marion Wiesel.

Night is an unmistakably autobiographical account of the author's own gruesome experiences in Nazi Germany's death camps. Told through the eyes of 14-year-old Eliezer, the tragic fate of the Jews from the little town of Sighet unfolds with a heart-wrenching inevitability. Even as they are stuffed into cattle cars bound for Auschwitz, the townspeople refuse to believe rumors of anti-Semitic atrocities. Not until they are marched toward the blazing crematory at the camp's "reception center" does the terrible truth sink in.

Recounting the evils at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, Wiesel's enduring classic of Holocaust literature raises questions of continuing significance for all future generations: How could man commit these horrors, and could such an evil ever be repeated?

Critic Reviews

"Elie Wiesel’s memoir of life in the Nazi death camps has been reissued with a new translation by Wiesel’s wife, Marion. Read by George Guidall, this new edition is a brilliant and haunting reminder of these horrific crimes, as well as a testament to Wiesel’s faith and resilience. Guidall is the ideal reader, and gives yet another masterful performance. Every word Guidall utters reminds the listener of the fear, the suffering, and the hatred Wiesel witnessed and experienced as he drew upon his every instinct to fight for survival. The audio edition also contains a new preface by Wiesel, as well as Guidall’s performance of Wiesel’s Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. NIGHT is already a classic, and this audio edition is a superb complement to the text. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award." (AudioFile magazine)

"[A] slim volume of terrifying power." (The New York Times)

night is a auto biography and a first hand account of the gut wrenching account of cruelty and suffering that holocaust victims and survivors endured. How cruel can humans be that too in 20th century ? we have watched the cruelty of the SS in various ww2 movies like shindlers list and pianist to name a few and we could not hold ourselves from shedding tears. The night by Ellie wiesel tells you his trials and trepidation in the aushwitz and buno concentration camps. The pain is hard to describe for me here but I can surely tell that this book is relevant today in some form or the other . hate and indifference based on religion , color , race , sexuality still exists in the society today and this book tells us why we should not remain silent when we see such situations. Do give this book a chance. It is a very important book for everyone

one of the most important books of 20th century

The horror of the holocaust never ceases to be mine boggling. It's heart breaking to know they could have escaped, all three warning signs were there. Yet they couldn't.

Inconceivable

This book brought tears to my eyes, such was the power of this restrained and harrowing autobiographical account of survival through the German concentration camps. Elie Wiesel narrates his journey from belonging to a happy family with strong religious beliefs to one eating snow for food and sleeping over and under corpses, losing one by one, his faith, <spoiler starts> his mother, his sisters and, extremely excruciatingly and gut wrenchingly, his father <spoiler ends>.

If there is one book that you read about how worse one's life can get, and yet how it clings to one single thin and bleak ray of hope, read this one. Highly recommended! Below is an excerpt to give you a flavor -

"How was it that men, women, and children were being burned and that the world kept silent? [...] Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long God Himself. Never."

A moving portrayal of shared suffering

A very difficult but compelling read. After Victor Frankl, Anne Frank, Edith Eger - this was a different perspective.

Ordeal of innocence
