Book Overview
A powerful and wide-ranging collection of essays, letters, and diary entries that weave together all the periods of the author's life from his childhood in Transylvania to Auschwitz and Buchenwald, Paris, and New York. - "One of the great writers of our generation addresses himself to the question of what it means to be a Jew." --The New Republic
Elie Wiesel, acclaimed as one of the most gifted and sensitive writers of our time, probes, from the particular point of view of his Jewishness, such central moral and political issues as Zionism and the Middle East conflict, Solzhenitsyn and Soviet anti-Semitism, the obligations of American Jews toward Israel, the Holocaust and its cheapening in the media. "Rich in autobiographical, philosophical, moral and historical implications." --Chicago Tribune

Unforgettable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I was touched by this book. I didn't know a book could change your life. After all, it's only words. And we live in an era ruled by the power of images.But Elie Wiesel, despite all suffering and humiliation that he faced during his life, brings us joy and hope . Joy and hope is his answer to the ashes of the holocaust. If the jews are the chosen people, then Elie Wiese is my vote for role model.
