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." ] (]) 17:04, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Why does the article say "Moshe the Beadle" and not "Moishe"?
The article uses the original English translation of Night by Stella Rodway (Hill & Wang, 1960), reproduced in the 1982 Bantam Books edition. If you are using the translation from the 2006 Oprah Book Club edition, you will find differences in the text and in the way some names are written.
"Moshe" and "Moishe" are variants from Hebrew and Yiddish of the same name – "Moses" in English. "Moshe" is from the original 1960 English translation of Night.
Moshe the Beadle is:
Moché-le-Bedeau in Elie Wiesel's La Nuit (1958), the French edition from which Night originated;
Moshe in Night 1960, 1982;
Moshe, Moishele and Moishe in Wiesel's All Rivers Run to the Sea (1995, 2010);

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)
This is a really well-developed and well-written article. I can tell much time was put into it. 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)
Marcoperez2024, thank you for the kind words about the article and the information about Texas. I'll have a look around for sources, and of course you're welcome to do the same. SarahSV19:19, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
