What is wiesel’s first impression of auschwitz? that it is better than birkenau that it looks like his childhood home that it is ugly because there are no plants that it looks terrifying and full of danger

Wiesel's first impression was that it is better than Birkenau.

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel's "Night" is about the experiences of the narrator and writer Elie and his father in the concentration camps during the Nazi regime. The government under Nazism had started prosecuting Jews and even killing them. Elie and his father were also part of those people captured and sent to concentration camps. After being shifted to Auschwitz, his first impression about the new place was that it is a much better place than Birkenau. This is for the fact that they were humanely greeted on arrival, with cement walls instead of wooden barracks. Also the presence of small gardens add to its charm.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
