Night by Elie Wiesel
In high school, the biggest impact any book had on me was the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel. Reading about this experience from a survivor of the Holocaust was heartbreaking and gut-wrenching, but at the same time, his style of writing was also very beautiful. It was simultaneously hard to read and hard to look away. This memoir is extremely important since it is about a real person's life during a gruesome event in history. Night had taught me more about what the victims of the Holocaust went through more than anything I have seen or read before.
Night is available for sale on Macmillian Publishers, among other sources.
