So far this week, I've gotten very interested in a book titled Night. It is a semi-fictional autobiography of a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust. The tragedies he faced and sufferings witnessed are greatly impacting and bring important questions to the table while exposing many to the first person view of the events occuring in Europe at the time.
Psychological/physical abuse, the degradation of an individual's sanity, and the horrific acts displayed by concentration camps and SS soldiers are all included in this novel and show a very important aspect of the war. I highly recommend this novel, as it is very interesting to witness the quickly changing events and scenarios that are, for the most part, nonfiction.

  1. Good...I would avoid calling the work "fictional" and stick with the appropriate genre "memoir."
