Maus and Night blog

The book Maus and the book Night are too very similar books pertaining to the Holocaust and Auschwitz. In both books you witness the horrible reality of deaths by gas, starvation, disease, fire, by race, by age, and by gender. Maus you read about a man whos writing a book about his father being in the Holocaust. The Tragic live style he had as a kid and a young adult during the Holocaust. In Night i think what is the most important fact to realize, is the author Elie Wiesel actually experienced the holocaust and Auschwitz first hand. In his reading you realize how much he went through to get out of the death factory they call Auschwitz. In both books they barely have a spot to sleep better yet any food to eat, in both books that is truly represented. In both books you also have the separation of man and boys compared to women, elder, and children to go separate ways to show their destiny. The last connection between the two was before you were sent to Auschwitz you maybe herd about it but never knew what you were getting put into. What i receive from these books is that this Genocide is one of the most, if not the most devastating times of our history of man kind. To prepare for genocides to come, we most all get over the hatred to keep our humanity alive. If i had to recommend one of these books i would have to recommend Night, i would recommend Night because the author truly experienced the Holocaust and i believe it is the most thoughtful of the two books.
