Night by Elie Wiesel

Our book discussion group read Night. Elie Wiesel is going to be honored in Dayton, Ohio on October 14th for lifetime achievement by the Dayton Literary Peace Prize at the Schuster Center. We were lucky enough to have high school students and their teacher to join our group of adult women to share their thoughts on this great book. We were amazed at the clarity of the author's language and his ability to put his experience to paper no matter how difficult that was to to, especially at a time when the world was not ready to face the whole truth of the Nazi plan of destruction. The author was instrumental in helping to have the Holocaust Museum built in the united States. This discussion of ours took place on the same day that the President of Iran was denying the Holocaust in a national publicized speech in America's Columbia University in New York.
