Sobre El Autor
Eliezer "Elie" Wiesel was born in Sighet, Romania on September 30, 1928. In 1944, he and his family were deported along with other Jews to the Nazi death camp Auschwitz. His mother and his younger sister died there. He loaded stones onto railway cars in a labor camp called Buna before being sent to mostrar más Buchenwald, where his father died. He was liberated by the United States Third Army on April 11, 1945. After the war ended, he learned that his two older sisters had also survived. He was placed on a train of 400 orphans that was headed to France, where he was assigned to a home in Normandy under the care of a Jewish organization. He was educated at the Sorbonne and supported himself as a tutor, a Hebrew teacher and a translator. He started writing for the French newspaper L'Arche. In 1948, L'Arche sent him to Israel to report on that newly founded state. He also became the Paris correspondent for the daily Yediot Ahronot. In this capacity, he interviewed the novelist Francois Mauriac, who urged him to write about his war experiences. The result was La Nuit (Night). After the publication of Night, Wiesel became a writer, literary critic, and journalist. His other books include Dawn, The Accident, The Gates of the Forest, The Jews of Silence: A Personal Report on Soviet Jewry, and Twilight. He received a numerous awards and honors for his literary work including the William and Janice Epstein Fiction Award in 1965, the Jewish Heritage Award in 1966, the Prix Medicis in 1969, and the Prix Livre-International in 1980. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 for his work in combating human cruelty and in advocating justice. He had a leading role in the creation of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D. C. He died on July 2, 2016 at the age of 87. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Elie Wiesel was Andrew Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University and founding chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.

«Un jasid, talmudista de renombre, vino a
consultarle: temía perder la fe. El gran Maguid de
Mezeritch no entabló una discusión filosófica, sino
que le pidió que repitiera con él muchas veces la
primera oración que todo niño judío aprende con
el corazón. Y eso fue todo»
El rostro del pequeño Elle Wiesel resplandecía
al escuchar los relatos que su abuelo le contaba
sobre los principales maestros del Jasidlsmo.
La primera Guerra Mundial quedaba ya lejos en
aquellas tierras rumanas que un día pertenecieron
al imperio austro-húngaro. Desde tiempos Inmemoriales,
los Judíos habitaban en florecientes comunidades aquellos
lugares que muy pronto sentiirian el azote del Holocausto.
De hecho, Wlesel fue recluido en los campos de
concentración de Auschwitz y Buchenwald con sus
familiares cuando apenas contaba dieciséis años.
En aquella larga noche lo perdió todo. Tal
vez sólo pudo retener, en algún rincón de su memoria,
a llama que un día iluminó su rostro de niño
y que le conectaba con la mejor historia de sus
antepasados..
En Celebración Jasídica el premio Nobel
de la paz evoca las paradojas y las historias de
rabinos míticos como Shem-Tov, Israel de Rizhin o
Méndel de Kotzk, entre otros. En ellos aun se percibe
aquella luz hiriente que cubría el rostro de
Moisés cuando. bajando el monte Sinaí después
de encontrarse con el Dios de Israel, llenaba de temor
a un pueblo en peregrinación permanente.… (más)
