Happy Birthday Elie Wiesel

The brilliant concentration camp survivor who taught us all to "NEVER FORGET".
He was THE Nazi hunter. His life and words should never be forgotten. He was one of the greats. Mr. Wiesel passed 9/20/2005 ten days prior to his 97th birthday.



"I was the accuser, God the accused. My eyes were open and I was alone – terribly alone in a world without God and without man."

Elie Wiesel, Night
(1958, translated by Stella Rodway)




The Family prior to the madness.



At 17 in Buchenwald where he was transferred to after being at Auschwitz. He was the only member of his immediate family to survive. If you only read one book on the horrors of the concentration camps let it be 'Night' by Mr. Wiesel
