“If only I could get rid of this dead weight. Immediately I felt ashamed of myself, ashamed forever” wrote Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel in reference to his dying father. Night relays Wiesel’s experience as a prisoner in the concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944-1945. Wiesel witnessed the inversion of convention and destruction of values. He writes, “here there are no fathers, no brothers, no friends everyone lives and dies for himself alone.” “To the best of my knowledge no one has left behind him so moving a record” (Alfred Kazin).
