Title: The death of God
Review: In Wiesel's account of his internment in Auschwitz, one can feel his sense of loss -- the loss of every member of his immediate family, the loss of dignity and of humanity itself, and -- the loss above all losses and the source of all other losses -- the loss of God. The theme of the loss of God -- or, to use Nietzsche's terminology, which Wiesel invokes as well, the death of God -- runs throughout this book. This is a story -- THE story -- of the dark night of the human soul that modern man has taken upon itself. God is dead -- but, as the author of the introduction eloquently tells us: there is a Resurrection.
