How to read "Night" by Elie Wiesel
It made me
sad and inspired
 "I overcame my fear of reading "Night" and faced the atrocities while witnessing the strength of faith and the human spirit."
How I did it: I have been afraid to read "Night" because I'm so sensitive to the tragedy of the holocaust...it breaks my heart that something so terrible actually happened. Lessons & tips: Just do it. Don't be afraid to read the truth. And I encourage you to also read "A Prayer for the Day of Awe" which is an editorial Eli wrote for the NY Times in 1997. http://www.nytimes.com/1997/10/02/opinion/a-prayer-for-the-days-of-awe.html?scp=5&sq=&st=nyt |

It made me
Aware 
How I did it: I had to read the book for English class, but I couldn't take the book home. I wanted to finish the book as soon as I could, so my friend bought the book. It took me about 2 hours to finish reading, and it brought me to tears. The information was so astounding that I literally couldn't bring myself to speak for a good 10 to 15 minutes afterward. I definitly recommend reading this book. It really makes you look back and regret every Hitler… Read how I did it…
It made me
Gasp! 
How I did it: Its was a school assignment that was supposed to be done over 2 weeks...but I couldn't put it down. I wasn't the only one, half my class was finished within days. Ive read it eight times since. (Im also have a rather large Holocaust intrest. Not that thats needed at all.) It is truly moving. You will laugh, cry, and feel terrible in a matter of hours. You will feel his greatest joy, and your worst sarrow. Be ready. It is a tragic/amazing/… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I did this because I was told I had to because it was a homework assignment. We had to read one or two chapters a night and we got done with the book in about a week. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Just sat there and read. Once you're in there is no escaping. I had nothing left to read so my mom handed me the whole Night trilogy. I finished them all pretty quickly. By the time I was done all I could say was "Wow!". Read how I did it…
It made me
more aware
How I did it: I have read this book several times. I am really big into world war two history though, so it wasn't really hard for me. If you like world war two history and learning about the holocaust, I recommend it. I think sometimes it's better to know the past so it is not repeated. Read how I did it…

I finally forced myself to sit down and read this book. It was a quick read (I finished it that night) but profoundly moving. The content was just so.. heavy. I walked away from this book completely astounded. Not so much by the human capacity for cruelty (although Night doesn’t attempt to veil it), but rather astounded by human resilience, even when the desire to survive is long gone.

We had to read this for English class, but yeah, Elie’s story really hits home.
Worth it!

AMAZING. So worth it. I read this in my 10th grade English class and it made a HUGE impression on me. I look up to Elie tremendously, and a couple years ago I wrote to him-and a few months later, HE WORTE BACK TO ME! He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, he’s traveled the whole workd, written over 40 books-and was still humble enought to reply to my letter. I cried when I read it. He’s so amazing and I truly look up to him. Go read it, it’s short and worth your while.

This is the most important book you will ever read, it leaves you with a completely new sense of understanding about the holocaust. It’s the most real first hand account I’ve ever read, you get so sucked in to the story that you can almost forget that it’s not fictional because it seems uncomprehensible that people could actually be this cruel in real life. It’s horrifying and haunting but left me feeling inspired to make a positive difference in whatever I do. Better person for reading it and I didn’t think a book doing that was possible before reading this.
