Giveaway: Night


In honor of Veteran's Day, I thought I would give away a copy of Elie Wiesel's Night.

Born in the town of Sighet, Transylvania, Elie Wiesel was a teenager when he and his family were taken from their home in 1944 to the Auschwitz concentration camp, and then to Buchenwald. Night is the terrifying record of Elie Wiesel's memories of the death of his family, the death of his own innocence, and his despair as a deeply observant Jew confronting the absolute evil of man.

While this is not the story of a veteran, it is a story of why our veteran's fought in the first place.

  1. I have a copy, so I'm not entering the drawing, but what a GREAT idea for a giveaway. I first read this book as a young teacher (23, teaching high school English), and it touched my students and me. They never seemed to make it far enough through their history curriculum to touch on the Holocaust, so we did a big historical unit as well, and it did open a lot of eyes!

  7. I'd love to be entered. I don't have a copy and I think it's time for a re-read. I thought I already followed you through blogger, but I guess not. I've been subscribed through Google Reader for a while. Thanks for the great giveaway! I don't see a deadline, so I hope I'm not too late!

  8. Believe it or not, this is a book that I don't own and should given my penchant for reading books in this time period.
