Extremely hard to read and one of the most harrowing, disturbing, and tragic books I’ve ever come across. I think it’s also one of the most important books ever written, the perspective shows that whatever you thought was troubling can get darker.

I didn't realize going into this that it was nonfiction, and that the author was only 15 during these events. There are no words that are adequate enough to describe what happened to Elie Wiesel. I can't believe I've never read this before, and I also can't believe how long this tiny book feels. How can so much unimaginable suffering be contained in something so small? 

This book will haunt me, and everyone should read it.

Wow! I finished this last night and had to take a minute with my emotions. I read this in one day. I think everyone in the world needs to read this book. There is so much hate out there. 

This book is a true witness account of what happened during the Holocaust to one young boy. I cried. What he witnessed and saw is unbelievable. I don't know that I could be as strong as he was. 

I think if everyone read this book, then maybe things would change. History shouldn't be hid, it should be put out there, where hopefully we learn from it and don't repeat it. The way this world is now, I am afraid we are going to repeat some terrible things from our past. I pray we don't.
