All St. Paul Reads | Thursday, Feb. 2, 6-8

This year’s book selection is Night, Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel’s memoir about the horror the Holocaust. A scholarly, pious teenager is wracked with guilt for surviving the genocide that consumed his family. The question haunts him: How can the God he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur?

The book marks Wiesel’s lifelong project to bear witness for those who died. Pick up your copy of Night in the Book Corner and join in for soup and discussion in the Library Commons. Discuss Wiesel’s anguishing questions with Katie Hanson of the Augustana College English department.
