Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel reflects upon his life, his work and his concerns for the future of mankind. The celebrated author of the Holocaust memoir Night reveals how he reconstructed his life after surviving the horrors of Auschwitz to enter a world of writing, teaching and campaigning tirelessly against threats to human rights throughout the world. He presents a warm and lively account of his experiences as a journalist in Paris and Jerusalem, of his authorship of more than 40 novels, plays and essays, and of his human rights activism. He also focuses grimly on the ability of human beings to dehumanize each other in order to kill with impunity. In discussing the events of September 11, he reflects on how the re-emergence of terrorism in a new and unimaginably more dangerous form casts doubts on whether the 21st century can avoid re-creating the nightmares of the 20th.
