The Light in Night by Peter Rosen
The biggest "light" I found in Night was people who managed to keep their humanity and identity in the terrible situation they were in. There are numerous examples. From the Pole who greeted them kindly when they arrived in Auschwitz to the man who showed defiance even when he was about to die, people refused to be entirely defeated by the situation they were in. Juliek's music showed light. Elie's commitment to stay with his father showed light. There were many examples of those who rose above the situation they were in to put the light in Night.

Very nice. I did not think of it that way. It really makes sense.

That is an interesting way to think of all of that. The Pole at the camp showed some light didn't he? (:
