Finished Book 12

I finished 'Night' by Elie Wiesel on Wednesday night. When I first started reading this, I didn't know it was a true story. This book was so sad. I still cannot believe what the Jewish people and so many others went through in WWII. I just can't imagine how horrible it must have been to not know what was happening to other people in your family. The treatment of people was terrible, no one could be trusted, and fathers and sons were turned against each other. I don't know if I missed this part in the book, but I wondered what happened to his other sisters. I only remember him talking about his younger sister and mother being taken.
Even though Dawn (Night#2) is a fictional story, it's supposed to be a follow up to this book. I have added it to my to-read list.
