The quote “ When writers write from a place of insight and real caring about the truth, they have the ability to throw the lights on for the reader," is an excellent quote in which to relate Elie Wiesel's book "Night." Elie Wiesel experience life in several concentration camps. He was a survivor who could bring his own observations to the world about the atrocities of the Nazi's treatment of Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Jehovah Witnesses, and other persons who were tortured and eradicated by the Nazi movement of ethnic cleansing.
At first Mr. Weisel did not want to share his story with the world but as he talked about it with others, he became aware that by the reader seeing the the Holocaust experience as a mental image through words would help people understand the horrific events and the need not to have such an occurrence ever happen again. The Light is the reality that it did happen and it happened through Elie's truth, and he wants people to have their minds turned on to the truth of what happened in concentration camps and to the people who were killed or tortured at the hands of the Nazis.
In the book a man yells out
"Let the world learn of the existence of Auschwitz. Let everybody hear about it, " (23)
