Help with Night by Elie Weisel?

Question

Why is Night by Elie Weisel social criticism. What is the author criticizing...what issues? && Also did Night bring about any changes in society?

thankx...!

Answer 1

Its a social criticism of the holocaust. Night was written about Elie Weisel's time in a concentration camp, while his other novel is about his liberation.

The change part is debatable, but he really just brought light to the eyes of people who knew nothing about the Holocaust and how horrible the effects of it really were.
