Wiesel was born in Sighet, Romania, in 1928. He was a devout Jew, and he studied the Talmud and other religious texts. In 1944, when Wiesel was 15 years old, the Nazis invaded Hungary and began to round up Jews. Wiesel and his family were taken to Auschwitz, where they were separated.

Wiesel spent the next year in Auschwitz, where he witnessed unspeakable horrors. He saw people being beaten, starved, and gassed. He was forced to work in the camp's crematorium, where he helped to burn the bodies of the dead.

In 1945, the Soviet army liberated Auschwitz. Wiesel was one of the few survivors. He weighed only 65 pounds and was covered in sores. He was taken to a hospital, where he slowly began to recover.

After the war, Wiesel immigrated to the United States. He studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and became a writer. He has written over 50 books, including "Night," which is a memoir of his experiences in Auschwitz.

Wiesel's story is one of hope and resilience. He survived the Holocaust and went on to become a successful writer and Nobel laureate. His work has helped to raise awareness of the Holocaust and to promote peace and understanding.

Wiesel died in 2016 at the age of 87. He is survived by his wife, Marion, and his two sons, Shlomo and Elisha. His legacy will continue to inspire people for generations to come.
