In 1986, he received the Nobel Peace Prize.
Editorial Review From Bookmarks Magazine
Starting with Night (1958), Wiesel, who survived the Nazi concentration camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, has testified against Holocaust atrocities and revealed the collective Jewish experience in more than 40 works of fiction and nonfiction. Recipient of the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts on behalf of oppressed people, Wiesel has become the spokesman for a lost generation. His novel, like his other work, raises moral questions about love, faith, survival, politics, and exile. A few critics thought these themes too diffuse; the disjointed style similarly jarred some. But the consensus is that The Time of the Uprooted is an artful, redemptive, and ultimately humbling exploration of the Holocaust’s lasting emotional impact.
Dr. Wiesel has donated an autographed copy of The Time of the Uprooted to Adopt a Doctor. This copy is now being auctioned, with which 100% of the proceeds will support doctors working in Africa.
Minimum bids start at $25 USD. Auction will end April 28th. Please email your bid to ray@adoptadoctor.org .
