If I could sum up Night in three words they would be; poignant, horrifying, haunting

For another poignant, haunting account, read The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

This addition includes the reading of Eliezer Wiesel's Pulitzer Prize winning acceptance speech. As he explains, writing this book fulfilled his "duty to bear witness for the dead and for the living". As I listened to his speech, tears never stopped sliding down my cheeks.

Bear Witness

It mught be better if the order of its chapters is the same as the book. However, the narrator really did an awesome job that he actually delivered not only the message, but also the characters' emotions.

I have no idea when or why I purchased this audiobook. I found it yesterday, and thought it would be great to listen to for a week or so.

NOPE! I consumed it in one day. I was riveted to the story line, the excellent narration, and loved the extras at the end of the book.

EVERYONE should read this book. It will make the history of the Holocaust come true like never before.

I have read this book a few times over and it always left me with chills. listening made it worse in a way. To know that this truly happened, that he went through breaks my heart. This is the kind of book everyone should read and remember.

A very emotionally charged powerful book of importance. A time when inhumanity to man lived and breathed with passion, hate instead of love took over with a force so great, sadly humanity suffered horrific abuse the world should never forget or know again. My heart and prays go to the souls tortured whose lived were snuffed out. I will my life in honor for all those persucuted. I'm deeply story for the loss....

his native tongue, true raw emotional connection with the author! Fantastic well done thank you!

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. IVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOR THIS BOOK AND I THOUGHT I FINALLY FOUND IT AND YOU GIVE THIS BULLSHIT!!!!! Yall are pathetic

Made to wear a yellow star, pushed into a small ghetto with his fellow jews, Elie didn't think it could get much worse or that the germans could be more cruel. He was wrong. When he was 15, his family was 'liquidated' from the ghetto and sent to Auschwitz. His mother and youngest sister were murdered, he was separated from his other two sisters, his name was taken from him and he became prisoner #A7713. They made him less than human. Somehow he survived. He wanted to bear witness to what happened inside the horrendous place that became his home for two years at the end of the WWII. Elie called it 'night' to describe the darkness he witnessed and the hatred he felt for his persecutors.

Moving listen beyond belief and George Guidall does an outstanding narration which captures the confusion, pain, and hopelessness Elie felt as a 15 year old boy made to watch as thousands upon thousands of his fellow Jews were slaughtered and then left in piles like cord wood in frozen pits or sent to the showers filled with the deadly fumes of Zyklon B.

There are those who doubt the veracity of Elie's history and story. I am not one of them. Even if it is not perfectly accurate in every detail, to doubt that an entire race of people would lie about these things is beyond comprehension. Are the details totally exact and the dates precise? Probably not. Because these people were kept like dogs in a kennel and only allowed out to do their master's bidding. Would your memory be so good? Would you even retain your sanity under such conditions? I think not. But the story had to be told. So we don't forget. So we stop it from happening on this scale ever again.

Eli’s Wiesel’s Night had me riveted from start to finish. I have no words for what he went through but am grateful that he left the world this account. Beautifully written.

I thoroughly enjoy this book. The translation by Wiesel's wife is fantastic and the narration by George Guidall adds a deeper level of emotion to the storytelling.

The entire book is memorable but what sticks out the most is the beautifully crafted metaphors to attempt to describe the atrocities that a person can never fully empathize with.

No but I am sure he is excellent in other narrations.
