Elie Wiesel: Humanist Messenger for Peace is part biography and part
moral history of the intellectual and spiritual journey of Elie
Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor, human rights activist, author,
university professor, and Nobel Peace Prize winner. In this concise
text, Alan L. Berger portrays Wiesel’s transformation from a
pre-Holocaust, deeply God-fearing youth to a survivor of the Shoah who
was left with questions for both God and man. An advisor to American
presidents of both political parties, his nearly 60 books voiced an
activism on behalf of oppressed people everywhere. The book
illuminates Wiesel’s contributions in the areas of religion, human
rights, literature, and Jewish thought to show the impact that he has
had on American life. Supported by primary documents about and from
Wiesel, the volume gives students a gateway to explore Wiesel’s
incredible life. This book will make a great addition to courses on
American religious or intellectual thought.
