My section of the rubric is gassing. I am interested in this method used by the Nazi's to kill the Jews. It was a cheaper and easier way of extermination and was the most efficient way of achieving the "Final Solution". Another way they killed Jews with gas is gas chambers. As they unloaded the Jews from the cattle cars they were told that they had to take showers which distributed the gas unknowingly. The more people that were in the showers the easier they suffocated. =Summary:= ===The story Night is Elie Wiesel's perspective of the holocaust when he was just a kid. He tells about the torture and suffering he and other holocaust victims endured. The book is sad and inspirational. He's been through so much and no matter what happened he stayed strong and overcame it, and lived to tell about it.=== = = =Elie Wiesel Backround:=
 * Elie Wiesel** was born in 1928 in the town of Sighet, now part of Romania. During World War II, he, with his family and other Jews from the area, were deported to the German concentration and extermination camps, where his parents and little sister perished. Wiesel and his two older sisters survived. Liberated from Buchenwald in 1945 by advancing Allied troops, he was taken to Paris where he studied at the Sorbonne and worked as a journalist. In 1958, he published his first book, //La Nuit//, a memoir of his experiences in the concentration camps. He has since authored nearly thirty books some of which use these events as their basic material.

In his many lectures, Wiesel has concerned himself with the situation of the Jews and other groups who have suffered persecution and death because of their religion, race or national origin. He has been outspoken on the plight of Soviet Jewry, on Ethiopian Jewry and on behalf of the State of Israel today. Wiesel has made his home in New York City, and is now a United States citizen. He has been a visiting scholar at Yale University, a Distinguished Professor of Judaic Studies at the City College of New York, and since 1976 has been Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University where he teaches "//Literature of Memory//." Chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council from 1980 - 1986, Wiesel serves on numerous boards of trustees and advisors.

=Eva Galler= Born in Oleszyrce, Poland. Jan. 21, 1924. She escaped the train heading to the concentration camp by taking off the barb wire and jumping into a ditch. her brother and sister were shot but she was not. I think she was very brave and determined to take the chance of getting shot just to escape.

=Isak Borenstein= == Born in Random, Poland. May 5th 1918. He was taken by Prussian Soldiers and was told he was part of the Prussian army. He's seen jews taken into a building and get shot then brought back in body bag I think he shouldnt have fought for the army, but shouldve fought for the Jews.

Born in Podhajce, Galizia. His family and him were thrown out of his house and buisnesses in 1940. Out of ten thousands people, only 100 survived. Hes seen people get shot and tortured. I feel bad for what he's seen and I think he should write a book to add another perspective about the holocaust
