What day is it when weisel and his family are deported from the ghetto?

In Elie Wiesel's "Night," he and his family are deported from the ghetto on the evening of the Jewish holiday of Passover, specifically on April 8, 1944. This date marks a significant moment in the narrative, as it coincides with a time traditionally associated with freedom and liberation, contrasting sharply with the grim reality of their deportation to Auschwitz. The timing underscores the tragic irony of their situation.
