Night, a haunting account of Wiesel's teenage experience in Auschwitz and on the Buchenwald death march. He questions man's inhumanity to man; Jew and German alike. He reflects on the presence and absence of God. "For God's sake, where is God?"And from within me, I heard a voice answer:

Amazon.com Review
In Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's memoir Night, a scholarly, pious teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust and the genocidal campaign that consumed his family. His memories of the nightmare world of the death camps present him with an intolerable question: how can the God he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves. It marks the crucial first step in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died.
