Oprah's Latest Book Club Pick

Shortly after Oprah names her latest book club pick, Holman Library receives copies of the book. In an agreement between Oprah and the publishers, copies are sent to participating libraries. Two copies of the latest book Night, by Elie Wiesel, are currently available.

From the Inside Flap: "Born in the town of Sighet, Transylvania, Elie Wiesel was a teenager when he and his family were taken from their home in 1944 to the Auschwitz concentration camp, and then to Buchenwald. Night is the terrifying record of Elie Wiesel's memories of the death of his family, the death of his own innocence, and his despair as a deeply observant Jew confronting the absolute evil of man. This new translation by his wife and most frequent translator, Marion Wiesel, corrects important details and presents the most accurate rendering in English of Elie Wiesel's testimony to what happened in the camps and of his unforgettable message that this horror must never be allowed to happen again. This edition also contains a new preface by the author. "

The New York Times: "A slim volume of terrifying power."
Alfred Kazin: "No one has left behind him so moving a record."
Oprah Winfrey: "I gain courage from his courage."
