OT: Oprah at Auschwitz Wed and Thur 2087I find it hard to believe Lizzie would show up unannounced at closing time. She has manners. You're right. It does not change the fact that they were too busy preparing for another previously...
Finally, Oprah will be visiting the Nazi death camp, Auschwitz, with Elie Wiesel, whose book, NIGHT told the story of his journey with his family from deportation to Auschwitz. This book was one of the most touching books I have ever read. It is only about 120 pages of less and another who can get a copy before Wed., should and read it.
Oprah will accompany Elie back, his first time returning to the death camp. I am sure it will be a very touching story and the story will be covered on both Wed. and Thursday.

"Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never."--Elie Weisel
ABOUT THE BOOK Night ANNOTATION An autobiographical narrative in which the author describes his experiences in Nazi concentration camps, watching family and friends die, and how they led him to believe that God is dead. FROM THE PUBLISHER A New Translation From The French By Marion Wiesel Night is Elie Wieselās masterpiece, a candid, horrific, and deeply poignant autobiographical account of his survival as a teenager in the Nazi death camps. This new translation by Marion Wiesel, Elieās wife and frequent translator, presents this seminal memoir in the language and spirit truest to the authorās original intent. And in a substantive new preface, Elie reflects on the enduring importance of Night and his lifelong, pbuttionate dedication to ensuring that the world never forgets manās capacity for inhumanity to man.
Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be.

Author Bio: Elie Wiesel is the internationally celebrated author, Nobel laureate, and spokesperson for humanity whose decision to dedicate his life to bearing witness for the Holocaust's martyrs and survivors found its earliest and most enduring voice in Night, his penetrating and profound account of the Nazi death camps. Born in the town of Sighet, Transylvania, he 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.
