I first heard of Elie Wiesel in 1979 as a college freshman in a course on literature that I only slightly remember with the exception of one required reading. The book was Night by Elie Wiesel. I read it from beginning to end without stopping. I could not put it down. I have been an avid reader beyond my memory. I have read all of Elie Wiesel's work and followed his journey through life ever since that day. Memoirs: All Rivers Run to the Sea is bittersweet in that it takes us back to that night in which Elie Wiesel has made a vow "Never shall I forget that night ... Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, ... Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. ..." What can I say about Elie Wiesel? As an American living in a country that strives for freedom, a Christian, woman, wife, mother, sister, colleague, friend, neighbor and person in need at times; I can vow that I will never forget Elie Wiesel and the gift he has given the world through his writing and humanitarian efforts. I will continue to give a copy of "Night" as a gift within my circle of life. 'Night' is the perfect introductory book of Wiesel's for advanced high school or college freshman and will establish a format for avid and interested readers to work their way through to his Memoirs.
