Biography Of Elie Wiesel

He was raised in a well-educated family. He was the third of four children and the only boy. Shlomo Wiesel was his father and owned a small grocery store. His father was a community leader who helped many Polish Jews escape from the Germans. Shlomo was arrested for this and sent to prison, but he was released after a while. Elie learned from his father the sense of humanism and help to people in need. Elie started reading and writing religious texts since he was young. At a young age, he started studying the Kabbalah despite his father’s hesitance for Shlomo thought Elie was too young. His father finally allowed him to study Kabbalah but only if Elie continues studying Talmud and its commentaries and also learns modern Hebrew. During this time, Elie met for the first time Moishe the Beadle, a poor man of Sighet, who was the first madman that Elie met when Moishe joined the Wiesel’s family during the Sabbath meals. Wiesel later met several madmen, whereby he assumed that they speak of wisdom and possess a clear vision and knowledge of

Painful experiences and memories are a part of everyone’s lives. Anyone who has ever been alive can remember a period of distraught and pain. However, while some try to forget the past, others choose to remember it. It is important to remember painful aspects of the past rather than forget them because it makes us stronger and prevents us or others from experiencing the same pain.

To begin with, Elie Wiesel did not have a normal childhood because of the holocaust. When Elie Wiesel was only 15 years old, he and his family were captured by Nazi soldiers and sent to the infamous concentration camps. After being separated from his mother and sisters, Elie was stationed with his father at Auschwitz where they were forced into slave labor and made to work in horrible conditions (“Elie

Elie Wiesel was born in the Romanian town of Sighet. His parents came from Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish families. Both of hi parents died in the Nazi concentration camps, as did his younger sister; his two elder sister survived. After the war, Wiesel went an Orphanage in France, studies at the Sorbonne, and became a journalist. The name of the book is call the Night. It were written in the 1955-1958.

Elie Wiesel was a Jewish American born in Romania. His principles were influenced by being raised in a heavily religious and liberal family. In the 1940s, his own country forced his family to flee to the ghettos, and not long after, Wiesel, “a young Jewish boy from a small town,” was captured by Nazis, waking up to the perilous realization of “eternal infamy”(Wiesel). In April 1945, after enduring through starvation and punishment, he was finally liberated.

Before Wiesel traveled to this gruesome death camp, he showed an abundance of positive traits. Some of these being his love for his religion, his strong hope for his future, and his powerful, loving family. In the first few pages Elie confesses his love for his religion and his ambition to pursue it to a teacher of the Jewish religion. He says that “...I told him how unhappy I was not to be able to find in Sighet a master to teach me the Zohar…” (5). He was stating that he wanted to branch off of his current religion and learn a new form of it, but he was limited because no one in his area also studied this form of Judaism. We can also learn that he was hopeful because you can tell that he is still trying to learn this other religion. Elie also writes that “Naturally, we refused to be separated” (20). He was speaking about his family in this quote and how he and his sisters had the opportunity to leave their mom and dad so that they could get to a safer place with the family maid. The mother did not want to go, so no one went; Instead they stuck together in the ghettos. They had an immensely strong family bond and it is shown through this passage. The children chose their family over a more certain safety. The next quote came after they were all in cattle carts, and were traveling to the new place. Elie recalls “It was as though madness had infected all of us” (27). Elie was scared during this time, but also reserved. He just kept to himself on while he was in this cart that was heading somewhere that he did not know.

Many thoughts went through my mind while reading about Wiesel’s final experiences as a German prisoner. I felt pity and sadness for him. His last few days as a German prisoner were his most difficult. He lost his father, he went days without food and passed days out in the freezing cold. I was also impressed on how he fought through these events. Despite his exhaustion or hunger, he never surrendered his life. He found strength that he never knew he had and showed the readers how strong humans can be when their lives depend on it. If I could meet Elie Wiesel and discuss with him about his time during the war, I would want to tell him many things. I would tell him that the time he spent at the concentration camps made him the man he is today

Eliezer Wiesel was born in 1928 on September, 30 in Sighet, Romania to Sarah and Shlomo Wiesel(Elie). He wrote many books including his most famous book Night(Berger). He is also famous for his “Nobel Peace Prize” award(Elie). He was one of

One day, when Elie returned from the warehouse, he was summoned by the block secretary to go to the dentist. Elie therefore went to the infirmary block to learn that the reason for his summon was gold teeth extraction. Elie, however pretends to be sick and asks, ”Couldn’t you wait a few days sir? I don’t feel well, I have a fever…” Elie kept telling the dentist that he was sick for several weeks to postpone having the crown removed. Soon after, it had appeared that the dentist had been dealing in the prisoners’ gold teeth for his own benefit. He had been thrown into prison and was about to be hanged. Eliezer does not pity for him and was pleased with what was happening

The book Night opens in the town of Signet where Elie Wiesel, the author ,

When looking at the holocaust, it is widely known the devastation and pain that was caused by the Nazis; however when inspecting the holocaust on a deeper level, it is evident that the Jews were exposed to unimaginable treatment and experimentation often overlooked in history discussions. When looking at “Night”, Elie Wiesel was helped by the doctors in the camp when his foot was severely infected; although this is not the experience he had, many Jews were mistreated and even killed by the doctors. Many Nazi doctors that were assigned to Jewish patients were later found to have exposed the patients to horrific medical experiments and unnecessary treatments that commonly led to their death.

Elie Wiesel was born in Sighet, Romania was he grew up to spend his childhood studying Jewish holy books. In 1944 his family was forced to live in one of two ghettos in Sighet. On May 16th, 1944 Elie and his family were taken to Auschwitz-Birkeua concentration camp. In the book Night, Elie writes about his experiences in the Holocaust when he was just 16 years old. Eliezer's faith in God and practice of his Jewish traditions are shattered by the experiences he had Auschwitz. His journey to the Camp's becomes a journey of faith that takes him from being orthodox and traditional, to being unsure about God and the faith that he has practiced since he was born.

In his Lifetime if he was to write only one book it would be Night. Elie can’t bear to see the past sink in the present. So Elie writes this book to inform and teach people what happen to him and what happens to others during this evil. The holocaust, one of the biggest genocides on earth and Elie Wiesel had a firsthand ticket to see it all happen and survive it with the loss of everything. If he had to write one book in his lifetime, it would be this one. Elie Wiesel asks “Why did I write it?” He then goes on to say “did I write it as not to go mad” then he realizes that he did write it to go mad, so he can understand the madness that had taken place back then. Still, he still questions why did he write this by saying “ was it to

How many bodies does it take to fill a trench? This question is something that nobody wants the answer to, yet many people who suffered through the Holocaust, including Eliezer Wiesel, author of Night, have been able to answer. Throughout his time in concentration camps, Eli witnessed terrible things, things like death, loss, and suffering, and they have changed him in how he views this world and the God he once believed in.
