pickThis is a tough book. It is also a necessary book. I used a personal connection with my own students to help them understand that this is still affecting people in so many ways. (I have ancestors I can‘t trace too far because the church where our records were kept was ordered to be burned down.) We shall never forget, and we MUST never forget.

One of my favorite books I read in high school. It has stuck with me all these years. Absolutely heart-breaking is Elie‘s story and I‘m grateful he shared it. 💙
Day 6 of #scarathlondailyprompts is night.
Night was awarded the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize. It is the memoir of Elie Wiesel who as a teenager was taken from his home to a concentration camp during the Holocaust. I read this moving account about fifteen years ago. Just over 100 pages, I recommend it to everyone. #TeamSlaughter #scarathlon
pickMy daughter taking a class in Holocaust Literature so after she was finished with it. I picked it up. I'm numb with emotions and in a book hangover from this true story of a survivor who was only around 15 at the time. Been awhile since a book has made me cry. "Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere"~ Elie Wiesel. ☆☆☆☆☆
Night by Elie Wiesel
Read it back in high school and it still chills me.

pickI finally read this classic testimony of the horrors Elie Wiesel had experienced in the camps. Brutally honest, it's a very moving account that should be on everyone's reading list. He describes first the denial of his Jewish community when told about the dangers they would soon face, then he describes with a candid honesty how people did their best to survive.
I'm not scared of ghosts, monsters, or anything else that falls under the same category.
I'm terrified of PEOPLE!
I believe people are the ones we should fear. The ones capable of the most outrageous crimes. That's why I chose this book as my Scariest Book for the #horrorlitchallenge @horrorprompts Day 4.
It's not a horror book, it's the Fact that it's a NON FICTION book, which makes it super scary. A true HORROR.
What's your scariest book?
pickSmall and mighty
Such a huge punch delivered by such a small book. Highly recommend you read this one if you haven‘t.
Night completed my Quest for protectors as a Godseer student at #orilium

pickThis was a hard book to listen to (I did the audio)but the true story that it told was amazing.I‘ve read many books about WW2 and the holocaust, but this is the first non-fiction.It was written by a survivor who experienced the atrocities as a child.It hit home every time I realized that what he was describing really happened to him.I enjoyed the authors add on.I think he was a hero, and understand why this book won a Pulitzer Prize
1) Night by Elie Weisel had a profound impact on me when I read it in high school - I hope it's still in the curriculum!
2) Not as an all-out bash, but I'm baking Irish Soda Bread today and we will make bangers & mash for dinner on Thursday along with a Guinness. I listen to Celtic Rock all year!

pickI‘m doing a buddy read of the Night Trilogy with my daughter. We just finished Night; if you haven‘t read it, you should. I‘d forgotten exactly how heartbreaking and powerful it is. The Holocaust will always be beyond my understanding. Tonight, we begin Dawn. Continued with Iron Lake on today‘s walk and I‘m enjoying it. #audiowalk
1: Night; Beauty in the Broken Places; Rage Becomes Her; The Unhoneymooners; Bourdain; and In Every Generation.
2: Eight Perfect Murders
3: Not much. I might do some weekend cooking.
#weekendreads
My daughter and I have started a buddy read of Wiesel‘s Night trilogy. It‘s been awhile since I‘ve read them, and she‘s only read Night.
What are you reading, watching, listening to for International Holocaust Remembrance Day? What are you going to do in this coming year to combat antisemitism? Let Auschwitz remind you to never stay silent. Holocaust Remembrance Day isn‘t only about remembering those 6 million Jews, 6 million souls but to also honour the ones that survived. Today I honour my grandparents and remember the 11+ souls of my lost family members.
pickPost 4 /4. My first read of the new year...was the most depressing book I've ever read. This first hand perspective of Auschwitz is a unique one. Wiesel packs years of horror, history, and his own personal development into a little over 100 pages, telling his story in a blunt, brutal, but eloquent way. An important book everyone should read.
My Christmas present to myself finally arrived. I can‘t wait to dive in

pickThis is just heart-wrenching. I hadn't read it before and now I see why it won the Nobel Peace Prize. #Booked2021#JewishAuthor @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft
pick“Everybody around us was weeping. Someone began to recite Kaddish, prayer for the dead. I don't know whether, during the history of the Jewish people, men have ever before recited Kaddish for themselves.“
Over the past couple of years I have read a few memorable books about WW2 (Kean's Bastard Brigade & Ohler's Blitzed spring to mind) & I have a vivid memory of reading the Diary of Anne Frank in high school. Yet, thanks to a recent post by @nute👇
pick#GratefulHarvest - Begins with N: Night
We all know this book. Many folks, like I, have read it more than once as a reminder, as a promise to never forget. To never close our eyes to the evil that men do. To deeply mine the crevices of our thoughts in search of the fears and painful realities that haunt us. To watch the idle hands of men for the prospect of unkindness and savage behaviour. We are either perpetrators or victims or witnesses.👇🏽
#BookReport
The romances got me through days where I wasn‘t concentrating on what I was reading/hearing. I do not know why I waited so long to read Night. Maybe reading WWII Fiction instead protected my heart a little bit. It is impossible for me to imagine what Elie experienced and I struggle to comprehend that the world allowed this to happen. I just know we can never let it happen again and I truly believe we were on that path no so long ago
Just going to read a few pages before bed … I should know better. Now I am invested and want to keep reading. I can‘t believe I haven‘t read this before now‘ thanks @ShelleyBooksie for leading me this. Although I blame you for the no sleep tonight! #readingpastmybestime

pickSo many great reviews have already been written about this short memoir. I will just add my 5⭐️ to all the others. I can understand why this would be part of school curriculums.
Re-reading my anchor texts for the first time since I was in high school! School starts in a week! 🤩🤓

Day 4: Love
These three books are an example of how hate led to the deaths of millions in the Holocaust. I cried when I read them. Excellent books and a very inspirational man.
pickThis book is gut wrenching and sad. But a book everyone needs to read and something we should never forget.
This Holocaust Memorial Day, I am giving myself permission to mourn. To cry. To stop faking like I'm not upset by Holocaust jokes or dehumanizing language. We need to talk about it and learn about it even though it's painful. Not talking about it is killing us. It can't just be me.
“How does one mourn for 6 million people who died? How many candles does one light? How many prayers does one recite? Do we know how to remember the victims, their solitude, their hopelessness? They left us without a trace, and we are their trace.” - Elie Wiesel - Day of Remembrance 2001.
1. I was super creative and put together my first and middle names so I wouldn‘t forget it.
2. I‘m thankful I didn‘t break my scale when I finally checked my weight this week....I‘ve been enjoying my snacks for the last four months too much 🐽

pickEmotionally, this is an incredibly hard book to read. It is short, but amazingly powerful & should be read by everyone. The writing is blunt & does not shy away from the uncomfortable, presenting a picture of concentration camp life that is harrowing & will put the reader at the same time both disgusted by and amazed by the human spirit. It is a reminder to be vigilant, to not be complacent, & to be watchful of the world around you.
pickWow. This book will stay with me for a long time. So much is packed into this short story - it is heartbreaking.
pickWords cannot describe how powerful this book and his story is. Wiesel unashamedly shares his experience at Auschwitz, and the horror and trauma he endured within, and his battle to understand why God allows bad things to happen to good people. 💔I wish my private school would have made this required reading back when I was in HS.
pickThis was a reread for me, but I was probably 10 or 11 the first time. So, more than 30 years later, reading it through my adult eyes and life experiences, I'm glad I took another look. Wiesel's first hand testimony of his deportation to Auschwitz is even more powerful due to his sparse, simple prose.

pickA difficult book to read, but necessary. There are no frills here - just a matter of fact depiction of the horror and brutality that humans are capable of. Never forget, lest we repeat. Isn‘t it sad that this book is still so relevant today?
