This is the first book I am reading by Elie Wiesel and I will
be reading “Night”, “Dawn” and “Day”.
The character David fought in the Six-Day War. Although his Colonel tried to persuade him to
leave because he felt he wasn’t a fighter, David stayed to do whatever he could
do.
His recollections are about the living and the dead as he
hangs out with other men at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. He is looking for a friend that he met in the
war, hoping that he shows up to know if he is still alive. To him war means dying and living means
dying. He captures the resilient spirit of a people determined to live.
