Night ..
So i was told that to write a post about the book Night, and the only thing that came to my mind to write about it was about the similar experiences my grandparents had. Coming from Ukraine my grandparents and their familes were forced into camps similar to the concentration camps discussed in Night. While in these camps they were forced to work and nearly starved. My grandma remembers that as a child she was only given water to drink and sometimes only one slice of bread to eat. She remembers these horror stories and very rarely likes to talk about them. I really enjoyed this book because i could really get into it, and was about a topic that always interested me.

Wow, I am so glad your grandparents survived and could tell you about their experiences. As long as we keep these stories alive, I think that's an important step to learning about how to prevent genocides. Why were they imprisoned? Was this during WWII? (I'm sorry if you already told me and I forgot).
