100 Inspirational Quotes By Elie Wiesel, The Holocaust Survivor & Author Of Night
Born In:
Sighetu Marmației, Romania
A Nobel laureate writer, professor and political activist, Eliezer ‘Elie’ Wiesel was a Romanian-born American Jewish who jumped to fame after his work, a memoir ‘Night’ that gave a first-hand account of his life as a survivor of Holocaust and as a prisoner in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. In the book, he gave a detailed account recounting his experiences of surviving Holocaust. Post the overwhelming success of ‘Night’, Wiesel took to writing professionally. In his lifetime, he penned more than 57 books, mostly in French and English. He also became an active activist, orator and teacher, speaking out against persecution and injustice across the globe. When bestowed the Nobel Peace Prize, Wiesel was introduced as a ‘messenger to mankind’. He not just came to terms with his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler's death camps but organized practical work in the cause of peace. Post the honor, Wiesel became a founding board member of the New York Human Rights Foundation and remained active throughout his life. Just as his work, his quotes have been equally life-changing that touch various aspects of life and give readers a new perception and outlook.
