Elie Wiesel’s book Night taught a whole generation about the supposed horrors of the Holocaust. Today, however, Night is no longer classified as non-fiction and most schools do not have it on their reading list. Because of Night’s disconnect with the official Holocaust narrative, and because Wiesel is no longer alive to promote himself, Night has been taken out of the spotlight.
In my newest dramatization, Honest Night, I shine the light back on Night. It is a retelling of Night without all the purple prose and with some honesty sprinkled in. Please check it out!
