Night by Elie Wiesel


Great holocaust book. Gets to the point, and the author documents his days in the camps.

It's non-fiction. Elie was 12 when the events took place. Real short book, and worth the reading. I read it with the high school class I teach. I was really surprised that I liked it so much.

I read Night in a class in college exclusively on the Holocaust, very interesting reading.
