Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate, dies at 87

Elie Wiesel, a Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor who chronicled his family’s plight in Nazi concentration camps, died Saturday in his Manhattan home, Israel’s Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem announced. He was 87.

The Romanian-born Wiesel wrote dozens of books, including the 1955 best-seller “Night” chronicling his experience as a teenage boy at Nazi concentration camps in Auschwitz and Buchenwald during World War II.

In both his written words and in charismatic speeches he delivered worldwide, Wiesel has acted as a moral conscience for decades about the scope and horror of the German efforts to eradicate Jews like himself, and became an outspoken voice on human rights.

Wiesel also gained acclaim for helping to identify Nazi war criminals after World War II.

He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.
