This book is designed with education in mind. To "never forget" is to pass on the knowledge of the Holocaust to each new generation. I have been able to use it as a resource for my own research as well as a tool to share in the classroom for graduate work in Public History. ( )

In his first book, Night, Elie Wiesel described his concentration camp experience, but he has rarely written directly about the Holocaust since then. Now, as the last generation of survivors is passing and a new generation must be introduced to mankind?s darkest hour, Wiesel sums up the most important aspects of Hitler?s years in power and provides a fitting memorial to those who suffered and perished. He writes about the creation of the Third Reich, Western acquiescence, the gas chambers, and memory. He criticizes Churchill and Roosevelt for what they knew and ignored, and he praises little-known Jewish heroes. Augmenting Wiesel?s text are testimonies from survivors, who recall, among other moments and events: the establishment of the Nurembourg Laws, Kristallnacht, transport to the camps, and liberation. With this book, Elie Wiesel has once again proven the importance of bearing witness.NOTES: Purchased from Borders Bookstore in Puyallup. SUBTITLE: Reflections on the Holocaust
