Day 7: Night by Elie Wiesel
January 7th
It helped me see the horrible things that the Jewish people must have went through. I read about the war in history books.
I heard the number four to six million starved, tortured, massacred.
However I never really realized what a person went through in a concentration camp
…until now.
Our history project was about the Holocaust, hence my sudden interest in wanting to read Night. (Also John suggested it to me, so I figured it had to be good.)
I was in the library when I noticed Robin staring at me.
“Hey,” I said walking over to him.
“Hi.” He mumbled in response suddenly becoming very interested in his..blank sheet of paper.
“Did I do something?” I asked, no longer able to ignore the way he was acting.
He looked up and stared at me seconds seemed like hours as I waited for him to answer me.
“No, nothing,” he replied breaking the stare.
“It just seems as thou—”
“I have to go,” he said leaving.
My eye shed a tear as he walked away, for reasons I wouldn’t understand until much later.
