Author, educator and humanitarian Elie Wiesel was born in Romania and was deported to Auschwitz with his family as a teenager. Upon his liberation, he migrated to France before moving to New York, and ended up writing 57 books in his lifetime. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. His memoir “Night,” based on his experiences as a prisoner in Auschwitz and Buchenwald during the Holocaust, is still taught widely in schools today.
This timeline explores Elie Wiesel’s life and the major milestones in his career.
The screening will be followed by Q & A with Patti Kenner, a producer of the film.
