In time he realized that his life could have purpose: that he was to be a witness, the one who would pass on the account of what had happened so that the dead would not have died in vain and so the living could learn.\" \u003ci\u003eNight\u003c\/i\u003e, which has sold millions of copies around the world\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003eis the very embodiment of that conviction.

Far more than a chronicle of the sadistic realm of the camps, \u003ci\u003eNight\u003c\/i\u003e also addresses many of the philosophical and personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of the Holocaust. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn addition to tributes from President Obama and Samantha Powers, this memorial edition of\u003ci\u003e Night \u003c\/i\u003eincludes the unpublished text of a speech that Wiesel delivered before the United Nations General Assembly on the sixtieth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, entitled \"Will the World Ever Know.\" These remarks powerfully resonate with \u003ci\u003eNight\u003c\/i\u003e and with subsequent acts of genocide.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElie Wiesel\u003c\/b\u003e (1928-2016) is the author of more than sixty books. \u003ci\u003eNight\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in Yiddish in 1955, was selected for Oprah's Book Club in 2006, and continues to be an important reminder of man's capacity for evil.
