Abstract	Elie Wiesel’s Night has become a canonical work in the genre of Holocaust literature. This thesis examines the process by which Night achieved this status. An argument will be composed using, as evidence, analysis of Elie Wiesel’s life, the broad history of Holocaust literature, and the complexities surrounding Night’s publication and reception. More indirectly, though not to any lesser extent, I will consider the implications of language, culture, religion, and memory in the creation of Night. Keywords: Elie Wiesel, Holocaust Literature, Night, Un di velt hot geshvign
