Night

I think that this book really represents the "Holocaust Story" well because it almost tells the whole story.  I only thought that it ended rather abruptly.  I like how Wiesel begins his story before the war affects his village.  We get to see how dedicated he is to his religion, and how this is reflected as a theme throughout the rest the novel.  The Holocaust events that Eli has to endure through this short time in his life not only affects his physical well-being, but also takes a mental toll.  He states that he stops believing because God has not prevented this from happening or intervening.  I think that this particular theme is especially important because religion is usually something that people hold on to, and it is what gets them through tough events.  But that it can be lost either temporarily or for long-term if someone is pushed hard enough.
