Explanation:

An autobiography is a self - written account of one's life. A memoir is a collection of memories about moments or events in the author's life. A biography is a written account of someone else's life. In this passage, the author is sharing personal memories and reflections related to his own experiences (mentioning his book "Night", his reaction to train whistles etc.). Memoir focuses on personal memories and themes, while autobiography is a more comprehensive life story. This passage seems to be more of a memoir as it is a reflection on specific memories and themes rather than a full - life account.

Answer:

memoir
