Summary of Night Night is Elie Wiesel’s personal account of the Holocaust as seen through the eyes of a 15-year-old boy. The book describes Wiesel’s first encounter with prejudice and details the persecuation of people and the loss of his family. Wiesel’s experiences in the death camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald are detailed; his accounts of starvation and brutality are shattering-a vivid testimony to the consequences of evil.

Summary Continued Throughout the book, wiesel speaks of the struggle to survive, the fight to stay alive while retaining those qualities that make us human. While Wiesel lost his innonance and many of his beliefs, he never lost his sense of compassion nor his inherent sense of right.

Let’s meet the people…. Elie Wiesel: the narrator and author of the novel, Night. Chlomo Wiesel: Elie’s father. They manage to stay together during their deportment. Idek: A crazy Kapo who beats Elie. Rabbi Eliahous: this rabbi’s son deserts him on order to survive. Elie prays that he will never grow so callous towards his own father. Heinrich Himmler: Hitler’s second in command and the head of the S.S. He established Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp. Adolph Hitler: Dictator of Germany Dr. Mengele: the “Angel of Death”; a doctor who performed brutal, unecessary experiments and operations.

Places…. Sighet, Hungary: Elie’s hometown Kaschau, Chechoslovakia: the first concentration camp Elie and his father arrive at after their deportation from Sighet. It is there that they see their wife, mother sisters, and daughters for the last time. Auschwitz, Poland: home of a concentration camp opened in April, 1940 Birkenau, Poland: The Wiesel’s arrive at this concentration camp in May of 1944 Buchenwald, Germany: home of a concentration camp opened in July, 1937. Elie and his father are taken here in January 1945.
