A great book. A auto-biography translated from French to English. It is about the Holocaust and Elie Wiesel was a Jew, so he was sent to concentration camps along with his family. He remembers the deaths of his family and the unbearable pain he received during WW2.

Oh god, I never read books about the holocaust. I never need(ed) to. I used to go to a Hebrew school and every year they would have a big assembly and a survivor of the holocaust would come and share their story. It's always the saddest times of the year there. But I left. Also, my great grandmother was a holocaust survivor. She went through the horrible concentration camps Hitler set up. She died of old age a few years ago...
