Elie Wiesel • 1960

Holocaust memoir survival faith
Our Take
Wiesel was fifteen when he entered Auschwitz and watched his father die. This slim book — barely a hundred pages — contains more horror than most libraries. The prose is stripped to nothing because ornamentation would be a lie. The boy who entered the camp does not exit the book.
