The book night is an autobiography written by Elie Wiesel. The book talks about is experiences as a kid during the holocaust. This is my first time reading a biography. I don't usually read these type of book. I thought the book was very interesting and it was surprising that many of these events actually happened. I liked how many event and feeling you could relate to in real life but also some were so hard to relate that you could just imagine. I think one day I might read this book again to get a better understanding of it.

The people didn't know what was happening. Hitler took little steps to make the people okay with the thing that were going on. They didn't know. They knew that they were being separated but little people knew that the Jews were being killed. Many people stood by and watched the Holocaust take place because they were scared. People feared there life, they knew they'd be killed if this happened. This doesn't that their were no bystanders. Some were Germans and others were Jews. The Jews that fought back were fighting because they knew they had nothing to risk. The Germans fought back because they knew this wasn't right. If I were in this situation I would have not been an upstander. Why? Because I would have been scared. I wouldn't have known what to do.
