    Night by Elie Wiesel is a memoir about his experiences as a teenage boy in the Holocaust. He and his family were taken from their town in Transylvania and placed in a concentration camp, where Elie was separated from his mother and sister. The memoir describes Elie's journey of survival in the camp with his father. It shows how the will to survive is not a choice but a constant battle, as evidenced when Elie tries to save his dying father in the rain and insists on continuing the forced evacuation from the camp despite an unhealed foot injury, determined to keep going even when facing immense suffering. The book illustrates how Elie battled death through the difficult choices he made to stay alive during his imprisonment.
