Night Trilogy: Night, Dawn, Day
Night Trilogy: Night, Dawn, Day | Elie Wiesel
Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize Night is one of the masterpieces of Holocaust literature. First published in 1960, it is the autobiographical account of an adolescent boy and his father in Auschwitz. Wiesel writes of their battle for survival, and of his battle with God for a way to understand the wanton cruelty he witnesses each day. In the short novel Dawn (1961), a young man who has survived the Second World War and settled in Palestine is apprenticed to a Jewish terrorist gang. Command to execute a British officer who has been taken hostage, the former victim becomes an executioner. In The Accident, (1962), Wiesel again turns to fiction to question the limits of the spirit and the self: Can Holocaust survivors forge a new life without the memories of the old? As the author writes in his introduction, In Night it is the 'I' who speaks; in the other two narratives], it is the 'I' who listens and questions. Wiesel's trilogy offers meditations on mankind's attraction to violence and on temptation of self-destruction. A Hill & Wang Teacher's Guide is available for this title.

Based solely on the author‘s memoir Night, I would recommend reading this. His writing in Night is so direct and honest. Dawn and Day are the author‘s first two novels, and they both leave me with mixed feelings. The direct style used in Night is not present on the follow-up novels. It‘s as though the author aimed to have a certain degree of gravitas and depth that just didn‘t work. At least pick up and/or give Night a try.

In honor of International Holocaust Memorial Day and for my #NewYearWhoDis challenge with @Kdgordon88 , I‘ve read #Night by Auschwitz survivor Eli Wiedel today. Everyone should read this. It stays with you forever.

As a German, I feel a responsibility to keep these memories alive. Especially now that anti-vaxers are comparing themselves to the victims every Monday in my town, even quoting prominent fascists. Fuck them.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive collection. No description. No explanation. Some will be old. Some will be new. Don't judge me. I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

Sace @Trashcanman I'll have to look at that. I'm a little annoyed with myself for taking the pictures with that big ass Talisman off to the left but I'm lazy and didn't feel like retaking the pictures or moving to a different shelf. 🤣 4y

‘Night‘ is fantastic. The others were and weren‘t my cup of tea at the same time. I really liked and also detested Wiesel‘s introspection, almost in equal measure.

I‘m taking part in an online training event about Night soon, so I thought it might be a good idea to reread it in advance. It‘s as good as I remembered, but it hits harder when you know more about the Holocaust, as I now do. Bath bomb is from Lush, Black Rose I think. It stained the bath (and me) horribly. 🛀 🥀 🛁 🧽 💐 🧼 💣 🌹

Finally reading “Dawn” after all these years. I read “Night” in high school and “Day” 10 years ago. I somehow missed the fact they were part of a trilogy.

A man hates his enemy because he hates his own hate. He says to himself: this fellow, my enemy, has made me capable of hate. I hate him not because he‘s my enemy, not because he hates me, but because he arouses me to hate.

[Preface to Night] I am not so naive as to believe that this slim volume will change the course of history or shake the conscience of the world. Books no longer have the power they once did. Those who kept silence yesterday will remain silent tomorrow.

We are reading Night in the 10th grade inclusion English class that I help out in. The gen-ed teacher recreated a mini interactive holocaust museum and the students went from station to station with a person card. They took a visual tour of Auschwitz, heard a speech by Himmler, learned about propaganda, art, music, poetry and at the end they learned if their person died or not. It was pretty amazing and the students all loved it. ⬇️

LibrarianJen There were also a lot of somber faces and some tears. It was a tough lesson for them, but an important one. 5y
AlaMich That sounds incredible! It‘s a real problem, the fact that the Holocaust is taught in fewer and fewer classrooms. Now more than ever, students need to be exposed it, and to other similar historical events. 5y
GingerAntics That is such a great way to teach about the holocaust!!! What‘s such a great idea! 5y

ScientistSam I've seen this in Holocaust museums but never thought about the fact you could do it in the classroom. What a great idea! It's scary how many young people today don't know basic facts about the Holocaust 5y
Freespirit What wonderful teachers you are. They will always remember it. 5y

I've read and taught Night, but have never read the other two books. #FunFridayPhoto

Got a couple of late Christmas presents from my mom tonight. I've read Night before, but haven't read Elie Wiesel's other books. Looking forward to digging into these.

"Night" was the first personal account I read of the Holocaust. I was so deeply moved by it that I read the other two stories. Then I had to go buy the book so I could return the library's copy.

sparklemotion I love this cover. 8y

In memory of Elie Wiesel, who would have been 88 today. 💔 My heart hurts every time I think about what he and others endured and that he is now no longer with us. Grateful that he left so many amazing works behind that continue to inspire.

#bookishbirthdays

OSChamberlain Read this one. It's the one I used for day 24 of #SomethingForSept and it's wonderful!! 8y
sammisho Just finished Night yesterday. I'm sad it took me so long to finally pick it up. 8y
MHeath1 I bought Night a few months ago and I'm still hesitating to read it. It's with my other TBR books, and it will be read, but when I feel brave enough to read it. 8y

Many years ago, it was my privilege to attend a dinner at which Elie Wiesel spoke. In my whole life, I have never heard anything more moving or meaningful. He made us cry. He made us laugh. He made us all, to a one, want to strive to be better at being human. RIP. Thank you for the gifts you gave.

Readaholics Amazing! You are lucky. 8y
