NIGHT IS A WORK BY ELIE WIESEL ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE WITH HIS FATHER IN THE NAZI GERMAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS AT AUSCHWITZ AND BUCHENWALD IN 1944-1945, AT THE HEIGHT OF THE HOLOCAUST TOWARD THE END OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR. IN JUST OVER 100 PAGES OF SPARSE AND FRAGMENTED NARRATIVE, WIESEL WRITES ABOUT THE DEATH OF GOD AND HIS OWN INCREASING DISGUST WITH HUMANITY, REFLECTED IN THE INVERSION OF THE PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP, AS HIS FATHER DECLINES TO A HELPLESS STATE AND WIESEL BECOMES HIS RESENTFUL TEENAGE CAREGIVER. THE BOOK HAD BEEN TRANSLATED INTO 30 LANGUAGES, AND NOW RANKS AS ONE OF THE BEDROCKS OF HOLOCAUST LITERATURE. NIGHT IS THE FIRST IN A TRILOGY-NIGHT, DAWN, DAY-MARKING WIESEL"S TRANSITION DURING AND AFTER THE HOLOCAUST FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT.
