Are you sure that the publication of Night in English (in 1960s) had such a far-reaching effect? Before the late 1960s the Holocaust was not widely discussed. It was known, of course, but generally talked about as the worst of a whole number of Nazi atrocities. It did not have anything like its current significance. I don't think the sea change can be attributed to Elie Wiesel, though he played a part.
Yes he did. He wrote it to share with others what experiences in the holocaust were like. The book was first published in 1958.
it did not last for 10 years. Understanding of the Holocaust however has changed.
The holocaust was a torturous place and a cruel and unforgiving time period in Jewish history
There were about 16 million Jews worldwide before the Holocaust; afterwards, about 10 million.
You cant read the night it is too dark

In the book "Night," Elie Wiesel's feelings about God change drastically from questioning God's existence and benevolence to feeling anger, disbelief, and ultimately, a sense of abandonment. Throughout his captivity, Wiesel struggles with the concept of a just and merciful God in the face of the horrors of the Holocaust, leading him to deeply question his faith and relationship with God.
In Elie Wiesel's book "Night," the events of the Holocaust, particularly the deportation to concentration camps and the atrocities experienced there, profoundly altered the lives of the characters. The sudden loss of family, the harsh conditions in the camps, and the struggle to survive in the face of extreme suffering all contribute to the profound change in their lives.
The Holocaust did not change religion. The same religions exist now as before the Holocaust. In fact, the Holocaust changed nothing about human cluture, ethic and morality. Since the Holocaust we have seen more genocides in Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur. Religion has not been altered by the Shoah (Holocaust). The same major religions (Christianity, Islam, Hindu & Judaism) exist today, virtually unchanged. What was religion after the Holocaust? The same as before the Holocaust. Self-centered, egotistical, theocratic and banal. Charles S. Weinblatt Author, Jacob's Courage http://jacobscourage.wordpress.com/
In the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel, the protagonist's reactions suggest a drastic change in his beliefs, emotions, and outlook on life. He goes from being a devout believer in God to questioning his faith in the face of immense suffering and loss during the Holocaust. This transformation highlights the profound impact that the atrocities of the Holocaust had on his identity and beliefs.
nothing, my life started after the Holocaust was over.
I believe that Elie Wiesel wanted everyone to remember the horrors of the holocaust as he said in his statement, "...to remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all...", i definitely believe that Elie Wiesel impacted our history in an extremely important way and no one should forget what happened during the holocaust/world war II because those who forget it or pretend it never happened are doomed to repeat it.

No.
it did not last for 10 years. Understanding of the Holocaust however has changed.
because one of the most important reasonsfor this change was that there weren't enough workers in the Americas.
it didn't.
