The Light in Night By Janelle Leppink

The Holocaust. A word to describe horrors most humans cannot imagine. Devastation and death surround this time in human history. Men, women, children, and helpless infants could not escape the torture, the deaths, and the inevitable of changing internally forever. Survivors walk today to tell the horror stories of this terrifying point in history, and the pain and suffering associated with it, purely to ensure that something like this will never happen again. In the midst of the darkness and evil, is it possible for true heroes to rise from the ashes? After reading the account of Night, one can know with a surety that a hero was created out of Elie Wiesel, who showed incredible strength which all must admire. Light is hard to find in a dark, and trying time like the Holocaust. All we ever see are the horrors, and pain from it. What we fail to realize is there is light in the darkness. Elie Wiesel and thousands of others rise as heroes from the horrible time they experienced. The light in the darkness is these heroes. They are the light that can come out of so much darkness and sadness.
