__Elie Wiesel__
Elie Wiesel was a Jew that ended going to a concentration camp with his family. Unfortunately his family didn't survive, but he survived and his 2 older sisters, then moved to Paris where he studied at Sorbonne and worked as a journalist. In 1958 he wrote his first book called La Nuit. This was talking about his life and experiences in the concentration camps. Even though when he was free from the hands of the Germans, he didn't suffer in self pity. He went to college, got married, became the chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Counsil, and is the President of the Elie Wiesel Foundation. God has really brought him a long, and it's blessing that he beccame successful.

Elie Wiesel was born on September 30, 1928 in Sighet, a Romanian shtetl. His parents was Shlomo and Sarah, his sister's names was Hilda, Bea (the older sisters), and Tzipora ( the younger sister). While he was growing up he was influenced by his maternal grandfather, who was a prominent Hasid, and was taught about the Messiah ( Jesus) and the other mysteries of Judiasm, by Moishe who was the Synagogue caretaker. Moishe was sent to Poland and escaped to go tell the Jews to beware the Germans and to move away from Sighet. The Wiesel's had a christian maid named Maria who offered to hide them, but the family stayed with the Jewish community. Elie Wiesel knew people and they cared him and his family, he was really in a loving environment.

La Nuit is The Night, translated.

The people in mr. Wiesel's life was either kind or cruel to him. Moishe the Beadle was kind man who was kind of a teacher to Elie because when he wanted to learn about God,Moishe taught him. When Moishe was away, he came back to the town of Sighet to beware the Germans, even though Elie was too young to be on his own in the world, he listened and didn't undermind him when everybody else was. Moishe the Beadle. Maria, the Wiesel's maid was a christian women who served the Wiesels well. When the Germans came to Sighet she had a way to be free. Even when Elie told his dad that him and the family should leave Sighet and the dad refused.

Maria Maria was a maid for the Wiesel's. She was a christian maid who cared about the Wiesel's very deeply. She had a way for them to be safe from the Nazis of Germany. But Sadly they didn't go with her and she went to go be safe.
