Can you please change the Synopsis section title to "Plot"? So that all wikipedia pages have the same layout. Thank you! 95.94.103.176 ( talk) 14:40, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

However, I was wondering if the contributors had considered adding a section, or subsection, regarding Night's ban from some Texans schools in the early 2000s. Apparently, it was considered too gory and violent for the children to read about. Just food for thought. Marcoperez2024 ( talk) 18:56, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

In the section "Auschwitz" it says, "Eliezer and his family are crammed into a closed cattle wagon with 80 others." This would mean his family PLUS 80, which is not true. It was 80 total, including his family, and this is significant because they would be counted, and if any of them were missing they would all be shot "like dogs". It should read something like "Eighty Jews including Eliezer and his family were crammed into a cattle wagon and threatened that they would be shot "like dogs" if there were fewer at their destination."
