"From the abyss of the death camps he has come as a messenger to
mankind-not with a message of hate and revenge, but with one of
brotherhood and atonement."
-From the Citation for the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize
"Wiesel uses words to craft literary monuments, works that stand as
acts of remembrance and as meditations on the nature of remembrance
itself."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"Unquestionably, Wiesel is one of the most admirable, indeed
indispensable, human beings now writing."
-Washington Post
"Not since Albert Camus has there been such an eloquent spokesman
for man."
-The New York Review of Books
