31_Holocaust Reflections
TRIGGER WARNING: I go into a bit of detail about the executions that are mentioned within the book.
After reading "Night" by Elie Wiesel, I felt compelled to talk about the impact it made on me. I've read a few of these books that refer to, and recount, about the holocaust and I always feel a sense of travesty and gratitude after reading them.
I found this book particularly quite confronting and eye opening as it makes you feel like you were there witnessing it for yourself. Grateful that Elie Wiesel had the courage to relive his nightmare when he wrote this book.
Note: Apologies for my lack of details about locations and times, I'm not great remembering things like that, but will do better!
Here is a blurb from Penguin Book site about the book:
"Born into a Jewish ghetto in Hungary, as a child, Elie Wiesel was sent to the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald. This is his account of that atrocity: the ever-increasing horrors he endured, the loss of his family and his struggle to survive in a world that stripped him of humanity, dignity and faith. Describing in simple terms the tragic murder of a people from a survivor’s perspective, Night is among the most personal, intimate and poignant of all accounts of the Holocaust. A compelling consideration of the darkest side of human nature and the enduring power of hope, it remains one of the most important works of the twentieth century."

The Chair (Short Story)
I've been expanding my creative writing skills and attempting to write short stories! Here is the first one I've completed last year and hope to combine 10-12 short stories into one book.
With this story, you step into a moment when a mother passes by her son's bedroom and she is drawn to interact with the chair that he used to occupy most of his time when playing video games with his friends. It's compelling when something that seems so insignificant and lifeless, can hold so much sentimental value when the one's we loved use to interact or cherish it the most.
