When the Hungarian police came , they gave everyone the illusion that things would be okay, but the worse was sure to come. In the second chapter,  Jews from Sighet had been transported by cattle car to Auschwitz, a concentration camp that Jews were sent to during the war. In the third chapter, they arrive to Auschwitz. Elie lies about his age and so does his father . If they pose as 18 and 40, they would be able to avoid death. They would be sent to work as farmers, and if they didnt work hard enough, they would be killed. The stench of burning flesh could be smelled in the air. They were fortunate enough to be sent to the concentration camps. He was seperated from his mother and sisters. They were sent to the crematorium and have not been seen again.

Due to our memories not always being reliable, can we consider this book to be "true" and "factual"? Is it possible to think about this book as "truth" without always being 100% accurate?
2. One of Elie Wiesel’s fears is that the world has not learned anything after the Holocaust. Are other people in the world experiencing "Night" or could they?
  3. What scenes from Night do you remember most vividly? Have they made you look at the world or your family differently?
4. How could Elie’s father be best described?
5. How will this experience affect Elie’s outlook on life and God later on in life?
