Synopsis
The history of the Holocaust is in many ways the story of individuals. Expanding on Rosen's acclaimed Teen Witnesses to the Holocaust series, these new biographies explore key figures: those who perpetrated the nightmare of the Holocaust, those who suffered during it, and those who managed to act heroically during it. These gripping and affecting books help teens understand the heroic, infamous, and little-known people of the Holocaust.
A concentration camp survivor, Elie Wiesel has worked tirelessly so that we all will remember the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. His efforts have won him the Nobel Prize. The author of this biography, who worked with Wiesel on developing the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, illuminates his life for teen readers.
