Born in 1928, Wiesel writing on his imprisonment in Nazi camps led to him winning the Nobel Prize for peace in 1986.
He was 87 years old.
Wiesel was born in 1928 in Sighet, Romania. In 1944, when Hungary agreed to allow the deportation of Jews from Romania to concentration camps, Wiesel was sent with his father to Auschwitz. His father would die from a beating by a German soldier. His mother and sister also died in the Holocaust. In 1969, Wiesel married Austrian Holocaust survivor Marion Rose in New York, who would be the English translator for his books.
