Night

So, I've always had an interest in World War II and the Holocaust, so Night seemed like an interesting book to read. Now having a start into the book I cannot imagine what it would have been like to be a Jew living in Europe during the early 1940s. The fear of not knowing what was going to happen to yourself, your family, or people you know would have terrified me. Some of the rules Jews had to follow, like wearing a yellow star, are unfair and unjust that if it were me I'd probably end up dead or in jail for arguing against it. I really admire Elie for everything he's gone through and overcame. Yeah...I'm hooked on this book. I think it can really teach a lesson while also informing about a historical event. :)
