22. ClassicNotes: Elie Wiesel
    Biography of the writer.  
    http://www.gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Authors/about_elie_wiesel.html
    
    Extractions: Elie Wiesel was born in Sighet, Transylvania on September 30, 1928. He had two older sisters and a younger sister named Tzipora. The town of Sighet is located in present-day Romania, although historically the area has been claimed by the people of both Hungary and Romania. Elie (short for Eliezer) grew up speaking Yiddish at home, and Hungarian, Romanian, and German outside. He also learned classical Hebrew at school. Elie's mother's family was part of the Hasidic sect of Judaism, and Elie loved the mysticism and folk tales of the sect as a child. He devoted the early years of his life to religious studies although his father encouraged him to study modern Hebrew and secular subjects also. During the early years of World War II, Sighet remained relatively unaffected by the war. Although Sighet became controlled by the Hungarians instead of the Romanians, the Jews in Sighet believed that they would be safe from the persecution that Jews in Germany and Poland were suffering. In 1944, however, Elie and all the other Jews in the town were deported to concentration camps in Poland. Elie and his father were taken to Auschwitz, where they became separated from Elie's mother and younger sister Tzipora. Elie, who was fifteen at the time, never saw them again. During the following year, Elie was moved to the concentration camps at Buna, Gleiwitz, and Buchenwald. He managed to stay with his father the entire time until his father's death from dysentery, starvation, exposure, and exhaustion at Buchenwald. Finally, in April 1945, Elie was liberated from Buchenwald by the United States Third Army.

    Extractions: I don't know much about politics, and I don't want to know. That's why I rarely involve myself in politics. But I think I've tried to raise awareness of the suffering of Jewish people, and beyond itbut not without itthe suffering of other people during the Second World War. And there's my fight for Soviet Jews who are dissidents. I was in Russia for the first time in '65. I never stopped fighting for them. My book Jews of Silence came out a year later.

27. TIME 100 Leaders Revolutionaries - Adolf Hitler
    An essay written by Holocaust survivor and noted author elie wiesel on Adolf Hitler and the nature of evil.  
    http://www.time.com/time/time100/leaders/profile/hitler.html
    
    Extractions: Adolf Hitler The avatar of fascism posed the century's greatest threat to democracy and redefined the meaning of evil forever BY ELIE WIESEL ot being a professional historian, I take on this essay with fear and trembling. That's because, although defeated, although dead, this man is frightening. What was the secret of his power over his listeners? His demagogic appeal to immoderation, to excess and to simplifying hate? They spoke of his intuitive powers and his "luck" (he escaped several attempts on his life). Adolf Hitler or the incarnation of absolute evil; this is how future generations will remember the all-powerful Fuehrer of the criminal Third Reich. Compared with him, his peers Mussolini and Franco were novices. Under his hypnotic gaze, humanity crossed a threshold from which one could see the abyss. Page 2 Page 3 Page 4

    Extractions: Elie Wiesel was born in 1928 in the town of Sighet, now part of Romania.

    Extractions: A Hasidic legend tells us that the great Rabbi Baal Shem Tov, Master of the Good Name, also known as the Besht, undertook an urgent and perilous mission: to hasten the coming of the Messiah. The Jewish people, all humanity were suffering too much, beset by too many evils. They had to be saved, and swiftly. For having tried to meddle with the history, the Besht was punished; banished along with his faithful servant to a distant land. In despair, the servant implored his master to exercise his mysterious powers in order to bring them both home. "Impossible," the Besht replied. "My powers have been taken from me." "Then, please, say a prayer, recite a litany, work a miracle." "Impossible," the Master replied, "I have forgotten everything." They both fell to weeping. Suddenly the Master turned to his servant and asked: "Remind me of a prayer - any prayer." "If only I could," said the servant. "I too have forgotten everything." "Everything - absolutely everything?" "Yes, except-" "Exept what?" "Except the alphabet." At that the Besht cried out joyfully: "Then what are you waiting for? Begin reciting the alphabet and I shall repeat after you..." And together the two exiled ben began to recite, at first in whispers, then more loudly: "

    Extractions: Elie Wiesel (born 1928) Elie Wiesel was born on September 30, 1928 in Sighet, a small town in Rumania. His grandfather told the young Elie Hasidic tales, which later inspired Wiesel's writings. In 1944, the Nazis deported all of Sighet's 15,000 Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Wiesel's mother and younger sister died in the gas chambers, and his father died later on a forced march to Buchenwald. In 1957, Wiesel joined the staff of the Jewish Daily Forward, a Yiddish-language newspaper in New York; he became a United States citizen in 1963. Not until 10 years after his release from Buchenwald, did Elie Wiesel begin writing about the Holocaust. His first biographical book "And the World Remained Silent" appeared in Yiddish, and four years later it was published in English as the novel "Night." This was followed by over two dozen semi-autobiographical novels, plays and essays, all bearing witness to the Holocaust.

    Extractions: Holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate, Elie Wiesel, gave this impassioned speech in the East Room of the White House on April 12, 1999, as part of the ongoing Millennium Lecture series, hosted by President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. In the summer of 1944, as a teenager in Hungary, Elie Wiesel, along with his father, mother and sisters, were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz extermination camp in occupied Poland. Upon arrival there, Wiesel and his father were selected by SS Dr. Josef Mengele for slave labor and wound up at the nearby Buna rubber factory. Daily life included starvation rations of soup and bread, brutal discipline, and a constant struggle against overwhelming despair. At one point, young Wiesel received 25 lashes of the whip for a minor infraction. In January 1945, as the Russian Army drew near, Wiesel and his father were hurriedly evacuated from Auschwitz by a forced march to Gleiwitz and then via an open train car to Buchenwald in Germany, where his father, mother, and a younger sister eventually died. Wiesel was liberated by American troops in April 1945. After the war, he moved to Paris and became a journalist then later settled in New York.

39. Elie Wiesel's Relationship With God
    elie wiesel's Relationship with God By Robert E. Douglas, Jr. As a survivorof the Holocaust, elie wiesel has to reevaluate God in his world.  
    http://www-int.stsci.edu/~rdouglas/publications/suff/suff.html
    
    Extractions: Worcester, Massachusetts The Holocaust presents one of the most disturbing theological dilemmas of the twentieth century. As a survivor of the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel has to reevaluate God in his world. He does so through is writings, in which he questions God and tells us of the answers, or lack of answers, that he receives. Elie Wiesel's Relationship with God Robert Brown writes of Wiesel, ``Contrary to much popular interpretation, Wiesel's indictment of God does not constitute a denial of God...if only one could deny and have it over and done with...at least the ground rules would be clear...'' ( [Brown] , 142) The denial of God would make all the questioning pointless, as there would be no reason to expect any reasonable answer. It might be a scary thought, but true nonetheless. It is in God's existence that the questions can be asked, but not necessarily answered. ``The survivors [of the Holocaust]...are aware of the fact that God's presence at Treblinka...poses a problem which will remain forever insoluble.'' ( Legends , 6) To ourselves we must reassess God's place in our world, and question the fact that God could watch as the horrors of the Holocaust were committed.
