"Night" reaction

I find it very interesting of how his mind set was for the reason why he wrote this book. It's almost a brave thing to do. For something so horrible to happen to someone, it would probably drive one completely insane for them not to do anything about it. I feel like the book is like a sneak peak. everybody always hears about it and reads about it in a generic history book, but this is to me, the closest someone will get to someone's point of view of who was actually there. It's quite an overwhelming piece. I'm surprised I haven't read this book earlier.
