dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

5.0

To give this book a five-star ranking feels wrong. How do you award an experience so painful? How do you respond to the story of the survivor? With pity for their misfortune? With joy and awe of their stupendous luck? Or do you simply go numb, heart breaking under the thunderous crush of human capacity for hate and evil? How can I give such a terrible story five stars?

Five stars to author Elie Wiesel for reliving his pain to share his experience for the world to learn from. Five stars to Marion Wiesel for her haunting translation of his story from French to English. May they both rest in peace.

This will live with me for a long time.

I read this for class and will never regret it. Wiesel is a masterful writer. It feels like you’re reading a novel as he relays his real experiences in such a real way. The violence is not grotesque at all, simply stated in a matter-of-fact way. The way this book emphasizes the emotional and psychological developments of the Holocaust victims really punches in the impact of what happened. I wept when they arrived at Auschwitz and walked with Wiesel through his words. I don’t care what your personal reading preferences or sensitive topics are; read this book. We are here. We will never stay silent.
