I read it in 10th grade as my English class focused many of our projects on Human Rights the first semester that year. I learned a lot of not-so-things.
As for the book itself, I felt sad for the people involved since it was a real event. Unlike fictional stories, where when things go wrong, you can hope they get better as the story moves on, I did not expect that from Night considering the subject. And knowing that made me feel more sympathetic for them and others who were/are going through harsh times.
I can't say I felt what he felt no matter how descriptive he was. I didn't go through anything remotely similar so no matter how descriptive the book is, I can't really understand the suffering he and many others went through. This is just me though. Words can convey a lot of meaning, but it's not really enough for me to understand more than just a bit.
