The preface talks about how if Eli Wiesel were only to write one book this one would be it. He rhetorically asks the reader question of why he wrote the story. One was "Did i write it so as not to go mad or, on the contrary to go mad in order to understand the nature of madness, the immense, terrifying madness that had erupted in history and in the conscience of mankind? He talks about why he wrote the story and a little bit of history of the holocaust.
The Foward is by Francois Mauriac. He talks about the cattle cars filled with jewish children and how horrible the concentration maps were. He talks about the Dairy of Anne Frank.
There is a poem wrote my the man and uses the repeption of the word Never throughout it.
