Elie Weisel's original account of his experience during the Holocaust written in his native Yiddish. The 253 page work was originally published with the title Un di Velt Hot Geshvign (And the World was Silent) in 1956 in volume 117 of Dos poylishe yidntum by Mark Turkov, a Buenos Aires based Yiddish editor and publisher. Wiesel compressed, translated, and rewrote that book into French with the title La Nuit and in English as Night.

Naomi Seidman wrote an article titled Elie Wiesel and the Scandal of Jewish Rage (printed in the Journal of Jewish Social Studies) where she analyzes the differences between the original and its translations: Two books, different audiences.


It is possible that Turkov's journal is known as: Tsentral-Farband fun Poylisher Yidn in Argentine, 1956.
