This link is a biography of Elie Wiesel. It states that he has written around 36 novels that has to do with Judism. He spent almost his entire life to show the rest of us who had not personally experienced the things that they had, how extremely terrible it was, and making sure that no one will forget it. "...to remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all..." (quoted by Elie Weisel) I believe this clearlly states his views and how he feels. I believe this is very helpful information because in order to really understand what an author is saying you must know what he's feeling as well.
