"Recounting the evils at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, Wiesel's enduring classic of Holocaust literature raises questions of continuing significance for all future generations: How could man commit these horrors, and could such an evil ever be repeated?"

Autobiography. First time I've read this. Painful and depressing to read, but determined to finish. More people need to read this.
