After I read the article,”I Remember Night:Remembering Elie Wiesel”, I noticed that the author, Clementine Wamariya, is an example of how learning about the past can help us prevent a tragic future. She became an activist because she wanted to make a change. I might be a kid, but I understand that we need to learn about the past, even if it was bad. This is why I want you to keep Night on the list of approved books. We need books like Night so we can learn about the horrors of the past. For example

The dark tone of Night illustrates the horrors of the Holocaust. The hanging of the Pipel and the Rabbi betraying his father during the march exemplifies the depressing mood.

In another instance a boy much younger than the man previously mentioned responds with the same acts of determined cowardice. Elie Weisel remarks on his fathers’ suffering as being “afraid”, that under no circumstance should his “head” be struck by a blunt object, all the while allowing his father to receive numerous blows (Weisel 111).

Night The human condition is defined by positive and negative aspects of existence as a human being, where events such as your childhood, adolescence, adulthood, relationships, aging and the situations you go through, shape who you are. Wilful blindness, separation, loss of identity and faith, morality changes, loss of hope and fear can all contribute to the most basic values and beliefs that we carry through life.

until the day of my bat mitzvah. The middle and high schools that I attended devoted much of their curriculums to teachings about the Holocaust. My family also felt it very valuable for me to know and understand. Thus, I have read Night and attended a speech given by Elie Wiesel. I have read the Diary of Anne Frank, other memoirs and accounts, as well as fictional and rigid non-fictional books. I have watched Schindler’s List, Sophie’s Choice, Life is Beautiful, and a host of other reproductions and documentaries
