I read the book in Junior High School and it chilled me to the bones.
Later other readings of Holocaust literature made his accounts seem a bit tame in comparison if that is possible.

All through it in my sheltered Southern youth I could somewhat comprehend (not accept) in my segregated ignorance the local racist hate against the blacks because of their obvious physical differences from whites, (if lobsters looked like kittens they would not be boiled to death was the hypothesis) but Jews?

The South has overcome the ancient hates rooted in race but the world may never overcome the even more ancient hates rooted in the religious bigotry eternally directed at Jews.

I think there are reasons beyond our control, as it were, which are at work in anti-Semitism.

Unless my memory proves me wrong, what I remember from “Night” is that babies were being thrown on a bonfire when Wiesel arrived at the concentration camp. I don’t remember which one it was - probably Auschwitz.
