Both the book night as well as the documentary show striking similarities as will as unique differences. Both go into very specific and descriptive detail about the topic at had; the holocaust. One similarity that both share is the description of how systematic the Nazis were with their handling of the Jewish people. They would impose an absolute control in both situations. In night they talk about the evolution that the Germans took to make the Jews trust them only for the Germans to turn on them and strip them of all they know. The documentary shows that they used the same sort of control but without the trust first part. The Nazis made it so that the Jews had no choice and practically no other option but to comply with what the they wanted. The Nazis wanted fear and they did all that they could to make that happen at all costs. In the documentary, they go very in depth about the camp that they are at whereas night has not gotten to that similar point of progression. The lady in the documentary, who was held at Auschwitz, described in very great detail every faucet of the camp. Night just does not get into that much detail but it gets the point across. Both also show that connections within the system are vital but might not necessarily work out. The dad in Night who is part of the council tries to do everything in his power to help but has no effect while connections in Auschwitz could make the difference between life and death.
