The Light in Night: by Kyleigh Cooper

I enjoyed the book although it was very sad and depressing. The little hints of "light" throughout the memoir showed that there were still people who had hope during this difficult time period. The small acts of kindness towards Wiesel were an example of light. For instance, when the French girl gave him encouragement after he had been beaten, when a prisoner gave him advice to lie about his age so he could live, and when his father shared food with him so that he would not die of starvation. All the stories we hear about the holocaust are similar, being their quest for survival amongst horrific conditions, but also unique to each and every personal circumstance. Wiesel was one of the lucky ones.
