Who has read the book Night???

Night is narrated by Eliezer, a Jewish teenager who, when the memoir begins, lives in his hometown of Sighet, in Hungarian Transylvania. Eliezer studies the Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament) and the Cabbala (a doctrine of Jewish mysticism). His instruction is cut short, however, when his teacher, Moishe the Beadle, is deported. In a few months, Moishe returns, telling a horrifying tale: the Gestapo (the German secret police force) took charge of his train, led everyone into the woods, and systematically butchered them. Nobody believes Moishe, who is taken for a lunatic.

In the spring of 1944, the Nazis occupy Hungary. Not long afterward, a series of increasingly repressive measures are passed, and the Jews of Eliezer’s town are forced into small ghettos within Sighet. Soon they are herded onto cattle cars, and a nightmarish journey ensues. After days and nights crammed into the car, exhausted and near starvation, the passengers arrive at Birkenau, the gateway to Auschwitz.

Explanation:

1. The main idea: A king is supposed to be just to his subjects and pious to God. We see that through the characters of Melchizedek and the king of Sodom in their relation to Abram. Melchizedek is a king and priest at the same time, an epitome of divine order and its embodiment on earth. In a way, he is a precursor to Jesus Christ himself. On the other hand, the king of Sodom is his absolute opposite: a fraud who is trying to trick both people and God.

2. The main idea is: God knows his subjects and gives them only so much burden they can bear. Job's virtues of maturity, righteousness, and piety qualified him before God for the ultimate suffering, which would bless him even more eventually.
