An enduring classic of Holocaust literature,
Night offers a personal and unforgettable account of the appalling horrors of
Hitler's reign of terror. Through the eyes of 14-year-old Eliezer, we behold
the tragic fate of the Jews from the little town of Sighet. Even as they are
stuffed into cattle cars bound for Auschwitz, the townspeople refuse to believe
rumors of anti-Semitic atrocities. Not until they are marched toward the
blazing crematory at the camp's "reception center" does the terrible
truth sink in. Narrator George Guidall intensifies
the emotional impact as blind hope turns to utter horror. His performance
captures the profound agony of young Eliezer as he witnesses the suffering and
death of his family and loses all that he holds sacred.
