Night
I finished reading Night on Saturday. As I read I was unable to keep back tears as Elie described the events that took place as they went to, and arrived at Buchenwald. It was tragic what Elie had to see on the train, “There was a stampede. Dozens of starving men fought each other to the death for a few crumbs.” (Page 95). I cannot imagine the pain, suffering the people in the concentration camps endured. I cannot express the sorrow I have for what some people had to live with even after they were rescued. "From the depths of the mirror, a corpse gazed back at me. The look in his eyes, as they stared into mine, has never left me." (Page 109)

Oh the part that move me the most was at the ending where his father was being hit and etc...
This book was incredibly sad. Reading the cries that his father bellowed made me feel so depressed. Tears could not handle the pain my heart ached.
