Assignment 1: Reasons for Writing
Albert Hunecke English 8P-7 January 26, 2010

Elie Wiesel Elie Wiesel, the author of //Night//, decided to write a book about the Holocaust. Elie didn’t want this time period to ever be questioned by man. He also wanted people to understand the conditions of the concentration camps because no one would ever experience it again. Wiesel felt people would completely erase the holocaust from their memory, so he wanted to stop that from happening. He decided to write a book about it called //Night,// and he has also performed many speeches about the holocaust. When he first wrote his book, the French hated it. Elie wanted people to buy it, so he made it a shorter and more interesting read. Now it is read by many Americans in high school and college and it is keeping the knowledge of this tragic genocide. We are fortunate to still have him giving speeches and explaining what happened. He has been awarded many peace prizes for his work, and is keeping the knowledge of the holocaust to this day.
