Night by Elie Wiesel
At the beginning of this book, the introduction speaks of the need for this book so as to never allow anything like this to happen again. And then, the zionist calls for the colonization of Palestine from the author both in the book and during his lifetime, which in the future becomes an active and decades long genocide, seems to conflict with this sentiment. This memoir is incredibly powerful and necessary, and yet I find myself conflicted at the failure of the author and contributors to recognize their hypocrisy.
