Perception Of The Holocaust In Elie Wiesel's 'Night'

The book Night by Elie Wiesel has changed my perception of the holocaust. For example in the book when Elie Wiesel ,a major character in the book, and his family were ordered to walk to the station, where a convoy of cattle cars were waiting for them.(pg.22) The hungarian police made them climb into the cattle cars with eighty people in each cattle car with very little food and water, is when my mind changed. When I learned that there were eighty people in a cattle car it first sounded impossible, then I felt even more sympathetic for holocaust victims . Another example in the book of when my perception of the holocaust had changed is when Elie and his father were put into cattle cars for the second time, they could fit a hundred per car.
