Join us to discuss NIGHT by Elie Wiesel. For a copy of the book and the Zoom link, contact Erica O'Rourke at eorourke@cooklib.org. DROP IN
Born in the town of Sighet, Transylvania, Elie Wiesel was a teenager when he and his family were deported to Auschwitz and then Buchenwald. Night is the shattering record of his memories of the death of his mother, father, and little sister, Tsipora; the death of his own innocence; and his despair as a deeply observant Jew confronting the absolute evil of man.
