The validity of the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, is questionable. Some say it is non-fiction, others historical fiction, and yet others complete fiction. I believe that this book is non-fiction, though with a few indiscretions on account of the fact that he wrote the book ten years after he experienced the events. One reason for this belief is the way Wiesel writes the book. A second is how he brings humanity into the characters …showed first 75 words of 688 total…

…showed last 75 words of 688 total…to exterminate all the Jews in the concentration camps before he surrendered. <Tab/>The book Night, by Elie Wiesel, is a work of non-fiction. This is my belief because of Weisel's style of writing, the humanity he brought to the characters, and the bluntly stated atrocities of the Nazis. No other type of author, be they historical fiction or pure fiction, "has left behind him so moving a record" -Alfred Kazin.
