Elie Wiesel A Source of Strength

I have chosen Elie Wiesel for this assignment because I find him to be an extraordinary man with a past that shows an extraordinary source of strength, both in survival and character. Born in Sighet, Transylvania on September 30, 1928, he came from an extremely religious Jewish family consisting of his parents and two sisters. As a child, he was well-educated in both Judaism and secular subjects. He grew up speaking Yiddish, Hungarian, Romanian, German, and Hebrew. …

…his life and tells his story so that the world is aware of the past and this never happens again. He also continues to speak out for victims of cruelty all over the world. Elie Wiesel is a source of strength and courage for all the world to hear and to heed. WORKS CITED: Book(s) used: Wiesel, Elie. Night. New York: Bantam Books, 1982.
