âRequired reading for all of humanity.â âOprah
âWiesel has taken his own anguish and imaginatively metamorphosed it into art.â âCurt Leviant, Saturday Review
âTo the best of my knowledge no one has left behind him so moving a record.â âAlfred Kazin
âWhat makes this book so chilling is not the pretense of what happened but a very real description of every thought, fear and the apathetic attitude demonstrated as a response . . . Night, Wiesel's autobiographical masterpiece, is a heartbreaking memoir. Wiesel has taken his painful memories and channeled them into an amazing document which chronicles his most intense emotions every step along the way.â âJose Del Real, Anchorage Daily News
âAs a human document, Night is almost unbearably painful, and certainly beyond criticism.â âA. Alvarez, Commentary
