"Jeffrey Rosenblatt reads Elie Wiesel's NIGHT so authentically that Wiesel's searing account...is internalized rather than merely understood. It is as though both narrator and author have seen the holocaust through the author's eyes. A new generation of middle and high school students cannot fail to connect with the youthful Wiesel. With a sturdy and informative case, well-marked compact discs and fine sound quality, this audiobook should be on all public and school library shelves." --School Library Journal

Night by Elie Wiesel is a modern day paradigm, ranking with Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank). "Audio Bookshelf has released an unabridged recording of this powerful piece...Narrator Jeffrey Rosenblatt enacted this tragedy of horror with such precision, you feel you're living it as he speaks the words. He drives the content home, without raising his voice, but his performance vocalizes volumes." --Bennet Pomerantz, Audioworld

“Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed?”

The year was 1944. The village of Sighet in Hungary had been grasped by the evil and unrelenting hand of Hitler, and its people hurtled down into the black depths of annihilation. For the next year, young Elie Wiesel witnesses the agonizing, tortured death of all he loves — family, friends and religious devotion. Birkenau, Auschwitz, Buna, Buchenwald. That he survived these death camps is a miracle even he finds impossible to comprehend.

NIGHT, his memoir of the Holocaust through the eyes of a 15 year old, is an international bestseller. Actor Jeffrey Rosenblatt tells the story rather than narrates it and it is a performance from the heart — personal, genuine and raw — allowing the listener to forge a deep connection to the author's experience.

About the Author: Elie Wiesel was awarded the Congressional Medal of Freedom in 1985, and in 1986 the Nobel Peace Prize for his enduring efforts to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive so that such a tragedy would not repeat itself. In his memoirs All Rivers Run to the Sea, he writes: "What does it mean to remember? It is to live in more than one world, to prevent the past from fading and to call upon the future to illuminate it." He is the author of more than thirty books.
