Sorry to see him go. A little bit Left, but a great survivor.

RIP.
Reading his book “Night” was one of the most powerful experiences in literature.

Agreed. He was a leftie, but...someone goes though what he did, well...he gets to choose.
His writing of that book was his unforgettable contribution.

When I saw that he had passed, My immediate thought was that he was probably in his nineties. He was a great man for going after Eichmann and pursuing the other Nazi fugitives like Mengele.

Night should be required reading for all who love Liberty. He was a brave and honorable man. RIP

R.I.P. to a very courageous and honorable man.
"Night" is a great book that you'll never forget. It's only 109 pages, so you can read it in one sitting. I haven't read it in over 20 years, so I'll probably read it tomorrow.

RIP. I used to think the Holocaust the one event in modern human behavior that no one would dare to forget. That, I’m afraid, was impossibly naive.
To: Alas Babylon!
May this great man rest in peace, may his family be comforted by his great accomplishments, and may people learn from him how to treat their fellow man.
His political views were not mine, not by a long shot, but those differ from his deeds.

A true scholar and courageous man who survived the horror of the Holocaust. May his words live on and others learn from his writings. RIP.

Requiescet in pacem. Mr. Wiesel and I met at a school event in Berkeley in 1995. He was very humble, cheerful and talkative. He seemed interested in the work of the students.

Book ‘Night’ is fiction.
Schindler’s List is fiction.
Annie Frank diary was allegedly penned by a relative.
Out of respect for the Jews who died horrifically, my preference still is the true accounts.
