Night

Night tells the story of Eliezer Wiesel, a studious Orthodox Jewish teenager living in Hungary in the early 1940s who is sent to Auschwitz, a concentration camp.

In Auschwitz, Eliezer struggles to maintain his faith, bearing witness as the other prisoners lose faith and humanity.

The prisoners experience starvation, succumb to disease, and abuse from the guards. The Nazi doctors regularly perform selections where they decide who is no longer fit to work and, therefore, will be executed.

Eliezer commits to caring for his father and their unlikely survival, often hurting his chances of survival for his father's sake.

Eliezer's father is not alive to witness the camp's liberation. Eliezer survives but is but a shell of the person he once was.
