Elie Wiesel at age 15,
shortly before
deportation
› Elie was born 1928
Elie was born in a small town
of Sight in Transylvania
 Elie had 3 sister only
 Elie Wiesel spent a year as a

concentration camps,

Elie's was 15 when his sister died and then he got
separated from his mother and never saw her again
but he stayed with his father but not for long because
his father died from starvation on and he dad been
beaten to death
After the war he found him self in France then he
learned that he had 2 older sisters that survived the
war
Wiesel mastered the French language and studied
philosophy at the Sorbonne, while supporting himself
as a choir master and teacher of Hebrew. He
became a professional journalist, writing for
newspapers in both France and Israel
-Buchenwald was the largest
Arbeitslager (labor camp) in Nazi
Germany. Unlike Auschwitz,
Buchenwald had no gas
chambers.
Although thousands of prisoners
died in gruesome medical
experiments or were killed in torture
cells such as the infamous "Bunker,"
many more inmates were worked
to death. More than 250,000 men
and women suffered imprisonment
at Buchenwald between 1937 and
1945; 56,545 died there.

Of all the historical sites in the world,
none captures the banal essence of
evil the way Auschwitz does.
The Nazi extermination camp about
one hour west of Krakow has no
high-tech trappings, no tricks
designed to induce emotion.
Its plain buildings--uniform, dull-brick
rows, surrounded by barbed-wire
fences and punctuated on one end
by the placid chimney of the gas
chamber--scream of the long-ago
pain of events here without ever
raising their voice above a whisper.
