夜 (著作)

布痕瓦尔德集中营（埃利·维瑟尔为从底层算第2层，再从左算第7人位在木柱旁、时年16岁）
《夜》（italic=yes）是埃利·维瑟尔取材自本身经历的著作，记述他和父亲施罗摩在1944年至1945年间，二次大战接近尾声、犹太人大屠杀的极端时期，被送往纳粹德国奥斯威辛和布痕瓦尔德集中营的种种际遇。

**内容概要**
在短短逾百页稀少、片段的叙述中，维瑟尔以他的单纯对比大屠杀的残酷骇人，写下关于上帝已死及对人性渐长的厌恶，呈现了集中营内父子关系的逆转：父亲干瘪、孱弱，而他成了他父亲的照顾者，满腹憎恨而愤世。「但愿我能摆脱这累赘……我紧接地为自己感到羞耻，永远感到羞耻。」在《夜》中，一切事物都是反转的，所有价值都已泯灭。「这里没有父亲、没有兄弟、没有朋友，」一个囚监曾对维瑟尔说：「人人只为自己而生而死。」
1945年4月，当美军终于抵达、解放布痕瓦尔德集中营时，维瑟尔只有十六岁，他的父亲在布痕瓦尔集中营染上痢疾，过世于1月28日。维瑟尔离开集中营后，他已对上帝和人类失去信任，闭口不提他的任何经历，只寄望时间能让他认清世界。沉默了十年后的1954年，他以意第绪语写了一份865页的手稿，1955年于布宜诺斯艾利斯发表，出版为《而世界依然缄默》（Un di Velt Hot Geshvign）一书。同年5月被法国小说家弗朗索瓦·莫里亚克说服，答应为更广大的读者而书。
然而，即使有莫里亚克背书，维瑟尔的作品仍一再被出版社退稿：理由是它太「病态」，不会有人想了解当年的历史。1958年，经过莫里亚克一再奔走，长178页的《夜》终于由子夜出版社在法国付梓，并于1960年9月在美国出版了116页的英语版本。五十年后，它和普利摩·李维的《如果这是一个人》及安妮·法兰克的《安妮的日记》齐名，并列为犹太大屠杀的经典作品。
