Elie Wiesel, the author of The Night, took the time to inform the world about his experiences as a prisoner in Auschwitz during the Holocaust so that this never happens again. Wiesel uses language so unbearably painful and yet so powerful to describe his memories of the Holocaust and convey the horrors he managed to survive. When the memoir begins, Elie Wiesel, a Jewish teenager living in the town of Sighet, Transylvania, is forced to leave his home. Despite Moshe the Priest's warnings about German prosecutions against the Jews, Wiesel's family and other citizens fail to flee the country before the German invasion. As a result, the entire Jewish population is deported to concentration camps. There, in the Auschwitz death camp, Wiesel is separated from his mother and younger sister, but remains with his father. As he struggles to survive hunger and physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse, he also loses faith in God. As the weeks and months pass, Wiesel battles a conflict between fighting to live for his father or letting him die, giving himself the best chance. of survival. Over the course of the memoir, Wiesel's father dies and he is left with a guilty conscience but a relieved heart because he can now look after himself and only himself. A few months later, Allied soldiers free the lucky remaining prisoners. Although Wiesel survives the concentration camps, he leaves his innocence behind and is forever haunted by the death and violence he witnessed. Wiesel and the other prisoners lived in fear every minute, every hour of every day and had to live in a place where there was not a single place where there was no danger of death. After reading Night and Wiesel's Nobel acceptance speech... half the newspaper... war broke out in Rwanda between the Tutsi minority and the Hutu majority. The killing of Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana and the shooting down of his plane sparked organized violence against Tutsis across Rwanda. Between 800,000 and 1 million died. Since the overthrow of the Sudanese government in 1989 by a military coup led by current President Omar al-Bashir, the second phase of the Sudanese civil war, the government had bombed civilians and given local militias the power to attack civilians throughout the country. From 1983 to 2005, approximately 2 million Sudanese died due to fighting tactics and famine. Why don't we listen? Why doesn't the world look around and put an end to these genocides? It's because people care more about world domination than world peace. “When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.” -Jimi Hendrix
