Throughout the history of the human race we have achieved many good titles, and have done a lot of good things. But there are also a lot of things that we should be and are ashamed of. One of those things is what we call the Holocaust. During World War II Germany went on a rage in Europe trying to take over the world, the Jewish population was in their way. So Hitler, the “ruler” of Germany at the time, ordered the transportation of Jewish people to his already made concentration camps spread all around his “kingdom”.

His town was evacuated during the Holocaust and his family was shipped to a concentration camp called Auschwitz. He survived the Holocaust and later wrote about it in a book called Night. If you read the book it gives descriptions about the camps they were moved to and the conditions they lived through.

Now there are critics out there that swear up and down the Elie Wiesel did not actually go through the Holocaust and that the book Night was faked, and in doing so they are stating that the Holocaust was “fake”. But to have a book written with such detail that the Holocaust existed just for kicks is absurd, plus Elie Wiesel was a real man, and his book proves that he had to have suffered a holocaust and its consequences. The book states that his father died and his father was dead after WWII, and the description of Auschwitz matches with photos from WWII once again proving that he was there. And what about all the photos of hundred of bodies piled up inside a barb wire surrounded village. How can anyone get passed the fact that back then photos could not be processed like they are today.

Now, most escapes weren't successful, most of the times the jews revolting in the camps were simple mowed down at the guard's orders. Now, there were other forces outside of the camps that were more successful, called the underground

The Nazis went and rounded up jews and sent them to concentration camps where they would make them work. If they could not work, they would be killed.

The Auschwitz concentration camp is located in Poland, where they didn't even think about feeding him, and treated him harshly. Both of Elie’s parents and a younger sister passed away in the Holocaust because they were getting treated like dolls. It was the most horrific time in time for the Jews. Elie Wiesel is very lucky that he lived through the Holocaust for us we have proof and information about what they did to Jews and for Elie, he spared his life and lived through it telling the world what happened to him.
