Going beyond the factual record of events, Heimler describes the deeper effects of suffering - on their minds. He reveals man's humanity to man, and asks whether, under such conditions, a man can remain a man at all. However, the true message of his book is not one of horror, but of hope.Featuring an introduction by Elie Wiesel, Night of the Mist tells the story of a young man's initiation into holocaust and hope, written by a survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. It recalls the day-to-day events, the miserable conditions of existence and the physical suffering endured by the prisoners. Hope in spite of it all.
