Wiesel, Elie(zer) 1928–

Wiesel is a Rumanian-born American novelist, journalist, short story writer, and essayist who writes chiefly in French. A survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, he draws his themes from many areas of Judaic concern. He writes of the Holocaust, of the Soviet Jewry, and of the Six Day War, often incorporating elements of history and of Hasidic legend into his fiction.
