Night - Back Cover

Braille monitors: Under an artist’s depiction of hanging men, there is a description of the book:

"This is a terrifying account of the Nazi death camp horror that turns a young Jewish boy into an agonized witness to the death of his family... the death of his innocence and the death of his God. Penetrating and powerful, as personal as The Diary of Anne Frank, NIGHT awakens the shocking memory of evil at its absolute and carries with it the unforgettable message that this horror must never be allowed to happen again.

ELIE WIESEL was born in the town of Sighet in Transylvania. He was still a teenager when he was taken from his home to the Auschwitz concentration camp and then to Buchenwald. His memoirs of that experience are unforgettably recorded in NIGHT, which became a worldwide best-seller.

Elie Wiesel is Andrew Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University and founding chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council."

Braille monitors: The back cover shows a disturbing sketch of three men hanging by the neck with rope.
