Book review of "Night"

Here is a review from yours truly if anyone's interested: Book review: "Night" and the problem of evil

As I say in the post, I don't know how this one slipped by me. I'll go ahead and blame it on the South Carolina public school system.

I hope you know that there's also a few other memoirs that bear mentioning with regard to the Holocaust
Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi
This Way For the Gas by Taddeusz Borowski
Eyewitness Auschwitz by Filip Muller
Death Dealer by Rudolf Hoss
Maus by Art Spiegelman

Very good. I'm more of a 19th century American history person, but I'll keep this list and try to check some of these out.

Yes. For what it's worth, I'm very interested in the Holocaust because I'm very interested in the depths of human depravity and evil, and considering that the Holocaust was so bad a genocide that the nations of the world actually managed to intervene to stop it (unlike Rwanda), it's likely one of the biggest examples. This is why three of the memoirs I listed were by people who actually worked with the Nazis: Borowski was a Kapo, Muller was a Jewish Sonderkommando who survived for three years by helping in the actual destruction of his people, and Hoss was the Commandant of Auschwitz [Warning: His writing style, while nowhere near as horrible as Hitler's, is not very readable.] If anything, those three books are more disquieting than Night.
