He states he would never forget the first night in the camps and the shear will to live he felt. As a person who has also faced intense pain (not of this degree) I understand the feeling of just wanting to survive. To see another day and to one day see the day he is free. It can be hard and through the book he states about wanting to give up but he kept going and it’s an amazing thing

“a corpse was contemplating me” after liberation and finally looking at himself in a mirror he could see a corpse of himself. It’s sad that this is the truth for many who survived the holocaust and especially as a little kid. The noble peace prize Wiesel earned was truly deserved with his painful and real writing.

It’s depressing how drastic the measures were that men were jumping the father over bread. As a weak old man in his dying days the idea of surviving a little took over the empathy or sympathy they should feel.

Reading the phrase “They’re bombing the Buna factory” also put a smile on my face like Wiesel’s. The way he writes I feel as though I’m here with him watching this torture and seeing this pain. It’s incredible but what broke me was him saying they were no longer scared of death. That the pain and suffering was worse to endure then death itself.

I picked this book back up from freshman year due to the new wave of Jewish insults Kanye has been spewing. The fact Elie Wiesel has gone through the worst genocide of world history and was able to write the pain and horror he went through is truly inspiring.
