Elie Wiesel’s Dawn is an eloquent meditation on the compromises, justifications, and sacrifices that human beings make when they murder other human beings.
The author . . . has built knowledge into artistic fiction. —The New York Times Book Review
Elisha is a young Jewish man, a Holocaust survivor, and an Israeli freedom fighter in British-controlled Palestine; John Dawson is the captured English officer he will murder at dawn in retribution for the British execution of a fellow freedom fighter. The night-long wait for morning and death provides Dawn, Elie Wiesel’s ever more timely novel, with its harrowingly taut, hour-by-hour narrative. Caught between the manifold horrors of the past and the troubling dilemmas of the present, Elisha wrestles with guilt, ghosts, and ultimately God as he waits for the appointed hour and his act of assassination.
The basis for the 2014 film of the same name, now available on streaming and home video.

CindyNurse727 (verified owner) –
I have owned a copy of this book since I was in the 9th grade. I don’t recall if this was a required reading for high school and/or if I ever actually finished the book previously, but I pulled it sometime ago and put it in my current TBR list. I was fearful the book would be boring or that I would feel like there was some big message I was missing since I am not that familiar with Palestinian history or the World Wars era. I was pleased that the book was a quick read. It covers a night of Elisha’s life (roughly from dusk to dawn) during which he comes to terms with his own mortality and a major change in his self perception. This young man has survived a concentration camp and has obviously for some years been on a journey to self-actualization. Elisha is searching for answers about God. During the night portrayed in the book he comes face to face with ghosts who turn out to be all a part of who he is. I give the book four stars because it wasn’t difficult or too philosophical but did make me think about the meaning of life and how our actions inform who we are. It is worth the read.
