Dedicated to the famous Holocaust survivor, Nazi hunter and Peace Nobel Prize winner. Elie Wiesel was born at Sighet, Maramures county, Romania on September 30, 1928. He is the author of over 40 books, the best known of which is Night, a memoir that describes his experiences during the Holocaust and his imprisonment in several concentration camps. Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. The Norwegian Nobel Committee called him a "messenger to mankind," noting that through his struggle to come to terms with "his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler's death camps," as well as his "practical work in the cause of peace," Wiesel has delivered a powerful message "of peace, atonement and human dignity" to humanity. On November 30, 2006, Wiesel received an honorary knighthood in London, England in recognition of his work toward raising Holocaust education in the United Kingdom. His latest novel, "Night" should be required reading for any Jew of this current generation, for them to learn and understand.
