http://www.powells.com/biblio/17-9780805210286-0 : This is the first volume (of two) of Elie Wiesel's memoirs (author of Night and roughly 39 other books). Wiesel's time at Auschwitz is covered in the first 100 pages. What follows is a beautifully written account of his life following - how he became a journalist, his encounters with world leaders, his various romances- and his never-ending struggle to be a voice for those who died in the Holocaust, as well as to help find the voices of his fellow survivors. The book is filled with philosophical questions about religion, love, and survival. Wiesel is a wonderful story-teller - filled with humor, sadness, and of course - hope.
