Night Chapter 1

Night Chapter 1 by Elie Weisel (fixed version without corrupted file segment)
A 1960 memoir by Elie Wiesel based on his Holocaust experiences with his father in the Nazi German concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944–1945, toward the end of the Second World War in Europe. Wiesel writes about the death of God and his own increasing disgust with humanity, reflected in the inversion of the parent–child relationship as his father deteriorates. "If only I could get rid of this dead weight ... Immediately I felt ashamed of myself, ashamed forever." In Night everything is inverted, every value destroyed. "Here there are no fathers, no brothers, no friends", a kapo tells him. "Everyone lives and dies for himself alone

Thank you for putting the whole book back online. I use it in class as my student follow along in the novel.

My teacher had used this video until 15:50 for me and my classmates to read along. I'm surprised it was the first result when I searched up "Night by Elie Wiesel chapter one". My teacher said it was a memoir, I think. I learned that memoirs are personal experience turned into a book. Wiesel must have had a traumatic experience during World War II. So far, this book is very interesting. Thank you for this. :)
