  1. Eliezer Wiesel was a Romania born American novelist, political activist, and Holocaust survivor of Hungarian Jewish descent He was the author of over 40 books, the best known of which is Night, a memoir that describes his experiences during the Holocaust and his imprisonment in several concentration camps.Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 The Norwegian Nobel Committee called him a messenger to mankind, noting that through his struggle to come to terms with his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler s death camps, as well as his practical work in the cause of peace, Wiesel has delivered a powerful message of peace, atonement and human dignity to humanity.On November 30, 2006 Wiesel received an honorary knighthood in London, England in recognition of his work toward raising Holocaust education in the United Kingdomcmillan author eliewi

  1. Elie Wiesel, a world famous, highly honored and sometimes criticized Jewish writer and political activist, was born in Romania in 1928 The novella Dawn was his first work of fiction, published in 1960 Together with his famous memoir Night 1958, of the time he spent in Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps in 1944 5 and his next fictional work, Day 1961 it appears in The Night Trilogy Wiesel died in 2016.The Night Trilogy edition of Dawn which I read has a preface, dating to 2006, in which [...]

  3. I am a huge fan of Elie Wiesel so was very happy with this book, since I read Night and saw his interview with Oprah Winfrey, I was hooked.Rarely has a such a short novel made me think as much as this one, usually its the 500 page sledgehammer that creeps into your dreams as you absorb it over a few weeks, in barely 80 pages Elie Wiesel burrows into the subconcious,into the darkest part of the soul.The setting is Palestine, 1947ish, the brits are still running the mandate Palestine is home to th [...]

  4. I m sorry, this book pushed all the wrong buttons for me It only evoked the resentment I feel for the modern state of Israel and its policies, and I simply couldn t shake off the feeling Wiesel s point is that we are the sum total of everything that has ever happened to us and everyone who has ever loved us or given us their time An interesting point, to be sure But all the reasoning behind Elisha s acts couldn t convince me that trying to justify your monstrosity by blaming your enemies for mak [...]

  5. Perhaps it s my fault for assuming that Dawn was a follow up to Wiesel s brilliant memoir Night Or perhaps the book was just boring Well written, but boring.In my view, Dawn should not be packaged as the second part of a trilogy, because I did not get any sense of continuation there was a lot of philosophising but no real sense of transition from the night that was Wiesel s life in a concentration camp to dawn in the Promised Land I felt that there were a number of gaps It has certainly put me o [...]

  6. 3 and 1 2 starsThough this is a novella, it s sometimes marketed as part of a trilogy with the nonfictional Night I can see the relevance, as Wiesel himself says in this book s introduction that he imagined what might ve happened if he d been recruited after his Holocaust experiences to become a terrorist in Palestine And while I didn t find this as affecting as the memoir Night, it is still relevant, imagining the kind of young person that might become a murderer for a cause and the toll that w [...]

  7. This is a follow up to Night , which I found to be a bit odd It s not that I didn t like Dawn , I did and it definitely affected me emotionally, but Night is much better It s the only book in the trilogy that s a memoir, so obviously the styles are different I wonder what Day will be like I plan on reading that soon.

  8. This book came to me by accident I was visiting the library at Anatolia High School in Thessaloniki one day and, as is occasionally the case, there was a pile of books on a table outside the door books that had been purged from the collection, free for the taking I am wary of such books, as they are often not worth the trouble, either because they are falling apart, or because they are lousy books But this one caught my eye because I had heard of one of Elie Wiesel s other books, Night , due to [...]

  9. This book is very different from anything else I ve read It s the follow up to Elie Wiesel s memoir Night, but this time the story is fictional Because it s fictional, right off the bat it s easier to digest than Night It revolves around a Holocaust survivor s morals and way of thinking after he becomes part of the Jewish Resistance in Palestine and is ordered to execute a British soldier Can the victim ever become the murderer Do the crimes of others make it okay for you to commit the same crim [...]

  10. Dawn is a beautifully written but disturbing novel about an Israeli terrorist waiting to assassinate a British officer in retaliation for the hanging of an Israeli This novel evokes a great deal of thought about stopping violence with violence and hate with hate Reflecting on the persecution the Jews have suffered, the young assassin Elisha says Now our only chance lies in hating you, in learning the necessity of the art of hate However, the novel seems ultimately to say that hatred must be foug [...]

  11. Every so often, I read a book that makes me wish I was back in grad school, so I could write a paper about it This is one of those books The only problem I have with it is that it s too short I wanted to read of Wiesel s beautiful and moving prose I love his style of writing and was caught up by the characters and their stories The plot is about a young Jewish man named Elisha who is chosen to kill an English soldier named John Dawson Elisha is part of the resistance movement in Palestine, and [...]

  12. Incredibly relevant While a historical novel, in our post 9 11 world that s cluttered with arrogance and self righteous politics, this should be required reading Dawn is unnerving it shakes you to the core The lines between us and them are blurred and the reader cannot possibly walk away viewing the world through the same narrow lens they came in with Read it.

  14. DAWN is an interesting companion piece to NIGHT even if it wasn t necessarily intended to be but given their titles, you have to think there is some correlation Elie Wiesel again provides a stark and direct style and his incorporation of supernatural elements, imagined or real, while at times confusing, is especially powerful It is indeed not a frequently seen literary phenomenon to see Jews on the other side of the gun, as it were A coming of age story of a slightly different sort that might ev [...]

  15. Dawn was different from Night Dawn was fiction and Night was a memoir Dawn made me think about life s choices and implications from a moral and philosophic perspective Night was a highly emotional journey On the surface they are so different it is hard to think of them as related, as one following the other But as one evolving from the other, Dawn evolves from Night.

  16. I am very sorry, this is not a literary production worth my time I took this book full of hope, after reading Night which was a four stars in my books, I think Unlike Night, though, this new novel an invention, a clever mind building a situation and offering an ending This writing does not contribute to the historical account of WWII, the way Night does, nor does it provide any literary achievement i.e the literary means employed in this book are mediocre at best So no hisorical value, no litera [...]

  17. Dawn was a real drag to read It s about a young holocaust survivor who joins a Jewish underground movement in Palestine and is commanded to execute a British officer who has been taken hostage Sounds promising, but it really wasn t It was all about the inner struggle to fulfill the command to execute the officer Too much philosophizing and mystic rhetoric, in the most pejorative sense possible In fact, the boy was whining about it so much that I wished he would put a bullet through his own head [...]

  18. As usual, Wiesel writes of darkness with beauty, humanity encompassed by inhumane actions As usual it is sad, tragic, beautiful, and quieting.

  19. This is attributed as being a sequel to the autobiographical Night which I think is a bit misleading, as that implies that this is autobiographical too Instead, Wiesel is musing what he might have been capable of, had he made some different life choices after WWII So, basically, you have someone who won the Nobel Peace Prize musing about what would have induced him to murder someone It s a bit of a strange book, but it does indicate just how many huge gaps I have in my knowledge of modern Middle [...]

  20. Read a book by this author already and enjoyed it so much I d like to read another Unfortunately, I didn t realize this one was fiction I don t know why it is, but I don t enjoy fictional accounts about the Holocaust or its survivors The true story is horrific enough.Anyway, while this is well written but I just couldn t get into it.

  21. I read Dawn along with Night and Day Night is autobiographical and Dawn and Day are fiction based on his experiences Read as a trilogy, Wiesel invites you in as a house invites the breeze to sweep through and breathe in every corner of its four walls.

  24. Wow I did not know this was a fictional story until I picked it up, but I loved what he did He asked some very BIG what if questions It is still relevant all over the world, sadly enough He is an amazing writer, a genius who makes us think of things we could never imagine He shares with us his experience in Night and then says, what if it got worse with Dawn I can not imagine what the Day will bring.

  25. I was confused when I started reading Dawn, because it s listed as being a sequel to Wiesel s Night, which is of a nonfiction memoir piece While in theme, Dawn can certainly be seen as a sequel to Night given the subject matter, it is a fictional piece of work where Wiesel explores thoughts about killing and death, most notably, can killing a person ever be justifiable This novel is a short but comprehensive into the life of Elisha, a young Jewish man who now fights for freedom for his own peop [...]

  26. A captivating look at the way humans justify hate I didn t enjoy it as much as Night but it was a beautifully written book that gave me a lot to think about I m anxious to finish the trilogy but after reading this I can t jump right into Day At times the passages were repetitive and the dialogue a bit stilted Overall, a decent read but not one of my favorites.

  27. Dawn A Novel Night Trilogy, Book 2 by Eli Wiesel1961,2006 Dawn is purely a work of fiction, but I wrote it to look at myself in a new way Obviously I did not live this tale, but I was implicated in its ethical dilemma from the moment that I assumed my character s place So I wrote this novel in order to explore distant memories and buried doubts What would have become of me if I had spent not just one year in the camps, but two or four If I had been appointed kapo Could I have struck a friend Hum [...]

  28. I didn t notice as I chose the version of the book that I did that it included only Night The cover looks the same but my book includes the entire trilogy so I will write about all three If I could give ten stars, that would still seem inadequate for this book It is beautifully written but to the point it unveils the depth of despair that those who suffered through the holocaust experienced But Weisel doesn t leave it there In three very short volumes, he explains through the voices of his char [...]

  29. Entirely different from Night except it has the same narrator, Elisha but this time this Elisha although based on Elie Wiesel himself is fictional and so are the events in this novel All the same, Dawn is surprisingly wonderful for a first novel The prose is so breathtaking it literally takes your breath away for a few seconds and linger on a beautiful line and try to digest its beauty Compared to Night, Dawn is quite superior when it comes to the writing department The sentences have romance a [...]

  30. So many questions obsessed me Where is God to be found In suffering or in rebellion When is a man most truly a man When he submits or when he refuses Where does suffering lead him To purification or bestiality Such questions young people ask themselves, and some, in the search for passion and purpose, find answers upon paths that, inevitably, lead to destruction Dawn is a book that has a very relevant place in today s society One could argue if it ever hasn t had a relevant place considering the [...]
