Night by Elie Wiesel
There are various types of social issues that the author went through in the novel. This is mainly due to the setting of the story itself which takes place during World War II. Some social issues that were discussed in the novel were; the main character more known as the author himself that grew up as a Jew during World War II. This can be a social issue because of Anti-Semitism that was taking place. The discrimination of Jews were a big a big part of WWII and Elie as the main character of the novel had to go through the discrimination of Jews because he was a Jew himself.
Even though the horrors of WWII is over Anti-Semitism is still taking place in our world today.
