Elie Wiesel - Confronting the Silence

As an orphaned survivor and witness to Auschwitz, Eliezer Wiesel (1928-2016) became a torchbearer for victims and survivors of the Holocaust at a time when the world preferred to forget. This portrait presents Wiesel as both a revered Nobel laureate and a man of complex psychological texture.
