The term "Holocaust"

Holocaust - To me, holocaust is a dreadful thing that harms people, any kind of people. The fact that most people know the holocaust and some have experienced it proves the devastation and the emotional rollercoaster ride they went through just to survive.

Author - Elie Wiesel is an amazing work of art to me. He survived the war, overcame death when it was staring him straight in the face. Now he is a fellow citizen of the U.S. and has devoted his time to help those in need everywhere. With many awards given to him, including the Nobel Peace Prize, Elie is a legend and a symbol of humanity at it's best.



Symbolism - In the book, Night, Elie Wiesel is a Jew in a concentration camp during WWII. One day he spots the overseer of the camp with a polish girl and is caught. The next day he is punished by getting lashes from a whip. the picture up above symbolizes that and portrays darkness to the book.
