DETAILS:
In July we will be reading “Night” by Elie Wiesel. A watershed memoir first published in 1958, it has become widely recognized as a masterpiece. In eloquent, unflinching scenes, Night recalls Wiesel's survival as a teenager in Nazi death camps. Each chapter raises questions that have haunted the world since Hitler's rise: How could such a staggering number of innocents have lost their lives at the command of one regime? What does it take to survive when body, mind, and spirit are brutalized for months, even years? For anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Holocaust, or of the nature of humanity itself, Night is essential reading.
