Elie Wiesel

An Evening with Elie Wiesel at UCLA

Elie Weisel, author of Night, is perhaps the most well-known Holocaust survivor. His story is familiar to many because of his book and his humanitarian work against human rights violations and genocides. See him here at a speaking engagement at UCLA discussing his time at Auschwitz Concentration Camp and his work to stop the current genocide in Darfur, Sudan.
