Night Summary Blog 4

       So far in the book "Night" the author is the main character, which means he's telling his perspective during the Holocaust in 1944. The camp he went to is in Poland near Warsaw and Auschwitz. He remembers the horrors of the Holocaust. For example, " I see a boy hanging down in a tree. His mouth gaping and his tongue loose/ripped." Later as he survives he encounters people from the Holocaust. Some they remember, but some they completely ignore Eli. Some of things Eli saw was horrific that any human should never ever have to see in there life. For example, " Once the Germans order us to take our clothes off and run to the shelter running while it was rocky and pouring." That's just some of the basic's that Eli had to encounter in the Holocaust.

        One of the Memory Moment in the story is the whole story. The book first starts in the 50's and he tells the story of what he did during the Holocaust in 1944. He remembers the ghettos and later transferred to camp in Poland. He also describes what the Germans did when they came to there house and took them into the ghetto. Also that he wrote "Night" for a reason, to tell people how was the Holocaust during the war and how he overcome it now (in the 50's) He goes into detail of what he experience during the Holocaust and what the horrors were.

  1. Leo, I suppose you are correct that the whole story is a memory moment, but next time try to find a specific signpost within the story. It will help you make sense of some of the smaller details, not just the overall picture.
