Journal Entry 1 by toxicepiphany from Hampton, Illinois USA on Tuesday, December 14, 2004

It's a great book about Wiesel's journey through life in concentration camps. It's one of the most interesting books that I've read. I first had to read it in sophomore history, and now it's a requirement for my college religion class. It won't be released until the class is over, if at all, but I'll hope that someone picks it up and likes it once it does get released.

Update 5/27/06:
This book is promised to a fellow BXer who will get it in late August (when I get back to school, where I had to leave it)!

Journal Entry 3 by fungirl503 from Portland, Oregon USA on Saturday, September 23, 2006

what a powerful book and well written. I thank God every day and especially after reading this book, that I did not have to go through what Elie wiesel and many others.
Even through it was doing war times, it just seems people are so cruel and mean to others. As a christian if I was there I would have doubts if God was really near me through the horrible ordel. I know I would never give up on him.. but would wonder what kind of God would let this war go on.
I being a polish person thank god as far as I know that none of my family went through the nightmare this up close.
There is many parts of the book that I read that will haunt me to this day... babies throw into the air for target practice, a young boy who was so light that he hang for three hours before he died. A lady who before they got to auschwitz had a vision " look! look at it! fire! a terrible fire! mercy! oh that fire!'
May all the people who died, and suffer rest in peace and know there is a god who does love them and bless them for ever.
This book is going to my friend to read, then when she gaves it back to me I will be sending into another book crossing.
Love one another! Peace!

THIS IS A BOOK RAY

This was a terribly sad, but excellent book. I have read several other books on the Holocaust written by concentration camp survivors, I truly can't believe how one man believed he could abolish this entire race of people.
There are some excellent quotes in this book, (some of which have already been highlighted by someone before me.) I will recommend this book to others.

PM'd Bakerwhencan for mailing address.

Journal Entry 8 by bakerwhencan from San Francisco, California USA on Friday, December 29, 2006

I can't believe how powerful, and sad a slim book could be. I read this over the last 2 days not because of length, but because I found myself having to take breaks to take it in. I am grateful to Elie Weisel for having the courage to write this book. I won't forget it.

Thank you Chevygoddess and Fungirl503. I'll be sending this off to the next reader.

Journal Entry 13 by Caridad from Miami Lakes, Florida USA on Thursday, January 25, 2007

An excellent biography. Although a short book, I had to take time off from it to reflect on these haunting passages. Too bad the people who should read this won't. Still waiting for response to PM sent to QUEZ$%. 

Journal Entry 14 by Caridad from Miami Lakes, Florida USA on Friday, January 26, 2007

Mailed to QUEZ45. 

Journal Entry 15 by Quez45 from Oak Ridge, New Jersey USA on Wednesday, January 31, 2007

I just received this book as part of a bookring. I have a few ahead of this one, but I will finish it as soon as I can. 

Journal Entry 16 by Quez45 from Oak Ridge, New Jersey USA on Tuesday, May 22, 2007

I never knew too much about the Holocaust, and what all those people had to endure for so long. After reading this book, I admire all of the persistence that those people had in the face of such awful circumstances.

I started to think how Elie must have felt when he thought about his mom and sister. Were they going through the same things as Elie and his dad? Were things a bit more "expedited" for them? I can't imagine what all of that must have been like ...

Off to midgetviking. 

Journal Entry 17 by midgetviking from Wien Bezirk 15 - Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, Wien Austria on Thursday, May 31, 2007

Journal Entry 18 by aava from Jyväskylä, Keski-Suomi Finland on Friday, July 13, 2007

I got back from my holiday this morning and this was one of the books that were waiting for me. I will start reading this one asap. Thanks for sharing. 

Journal Entry 19 by aava from Jyväskylä, Keski-Suomi Finland on Sunday, July 29, 2007

What can I say? I feel there are no words that I could use to describe all that went through me while and after reading this book. It's short but intense and so so so sad.

edit 9.8.2007: Posted today. I'm sorry about the delay, but at the moment I'm working in Lapland (in the middle of nowhere) and getting to the nearest Post Office is, shall I say a bit challenging :)

Journal Entry 21 by Fifna from Voorburg, Zuid-Holland Netherlands on Monday, January 05, 2009

I didn't realise I hadn't made a journal entry for this book yet. I read it a while ago, when I was visiting Krakow. I visited Auschwitz during that trip and it meant the book made even more of an impression on me. The horrors are just unfathomable and the stories so sad. I'm glad I read the book, thank you for sharing.
