Many Holocaust survivors have fortunately emerged from the melancholy of unbearable suffering, leaving them with unforgettable memories of the human atrocities and immorality that occurred during World War II. Elie Wiesel, with his profound experience of this abominable genocide, is able to provide much information about that event through his remarkable literature – The Night. In Wiesel's memoirs, documented with real experiences and testimonies of injustice and dehumanization, he manages to educate the public and raise awareness while teaching lessons on the nature of man, the importance of memory and the perseverance of faith, in which he realizes his purpose of writing this significant story.
