This book, while short, was a captivating and fascinating read. It is the completely true story of a Holocaust survivor. He was taken when he was sixteen to a concentration camp with his family, but only his father made it past the initial selection with him. The book tells of the hardships he faced, as well as the issues that he dealt with in regards to his religion and faith.
Elie Wiesel won the Nobel Peace Prize, and after reading what he suffered, I think that it was well deserved.
