Night
10 journalers for this copy...
I enjoyed listening to the unabridged audiobook of "Night" very much. It was narrated by George Guidall and I felt he did a wonderful job narrating "Night".
In addition to narrating "Night", George Guidall also narrates Elie Wiesel's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in 1986 as well as the new preface written for "Night" by Elie Wiesel.
Below is a quote from Elie Wiesel's 1986 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech (http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1986/wiesel-acceptance.html):
"And then I explained to him how naive we were, that the world did know and remain silent. And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe."

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
On its way to Denmark, finally.
I don't think 'happy reading' is the right thing to wish future readers of this book ... but I hope you will all have rewarding experiences with it. :-)
I don't know if enjoyed is the right word to use about my experience of this book, but it has certainly made me think once again about the horrors that all those poor people had to face during WWII. - And I think that is the most important thing, that we keep on being reminded of what happened, that we never forget what one man and his followers where allowed to do.
10 years ago, I actually visited Auswitch and I remember how difficult it was to imagine all the pain and suffering that had been a part of every day life in the camp, but every time i read or listen to a tale from an old "inmate" I'm thankful that I was free to walk under the gate with the famous words Arbeit Macht Frei and back out into freedom.
Thank you for shaing, the book will continue its journey as sson as I get the next readers address.

Will finish listening over the weekend and send it off on Tuesday! What a great and terrible story. Thanks for including me on this ring.
Sent off to the next participant in the USA today.
Incidentally, I agree with LeishaCamden about George Guidall. I had previously listened to an audiobook read by him, by an author I'm not particularly fond of, and not been impressed. Now I see that he is versatile and skilled enough to modify his style significantly to match the book he is performing. It's a real eye-opener to find out how good he really is when the material is worthy of his talent.
