          Eliezer "Elie" Wiesel was born on September 30, 1928 in Sighet, Transylvania. He is a Jewish-American professor and political activist. Eliezer's spouse was Marion Erster Rose. His parents were Sarah Feig and Shlomo Wiesel. Eliezer had three siblings, two older sisters names Hilda and Beatrice and one younger sister Tzipora. They spoke Yiddish most of the time but also German, Hungarian and Romanian. 


          Eliezer is the author of 57 books including Nighta work based on his experiences as a prisoner in the Auschwitz, Buna, and Buchenwald concentration camps. During World War II his family and him were deported by the German Army to Auschwitz-Birkenau. There he got separated from his family except his father. Wiesel and his father had to work at Buna, a subcamp of Auschwitz III-Monowitz. Eliezer managed to stay next to his father for 8 months. They were forced to work under appalling conditions and shuffled among three concentration camps in the closing days of the war.

  6. 1: Auschwitz-Birkenau
    2: I would be beyond furious, I need my family more than anything to survive in this wicked world. If I was separated from them I would break down and go insane in that exact same moment.

  8. 1. Eliezer got separated from his family in Auschwitz-Birkenau.
    2. If i were separated from my family during such drastic times, I wouldn't know how to react. i would be quickly driven to insanity from being alone. My mentality would be broken down to such a point that I wouldn't know the difference from physical pain and emotional pain, maybe even think that my emotional pain were much greater than physical.

  9. 1) Auschwitz-Birkenau
    2) If I got separated from my family during tough times like these, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I'd probably lose hope.
