During the week, Write a Religion Topic of Your Choosing. Due Nov 6th

Thoughts On “Elie Weisel”

This story about “Elie Weisel” is a very sad story. His was a survivor of the “Concentration Camps” in World War II. Despite his entire family being executed in the death camps, he would later inspire the world with his remarkable determination of strength, will, and courage. As I can see, he became a well renowned writer of the 20th Century. His stories have touched all people and admirers who have read his literature. This man is the perfect example, of one who never gives up his faith in life. No matter what devastating circumstances he may have emcountered due to discrimination and hate, “Elie Weisel” has become a modern day “hero” for the oppressed people of the world. He has helped to educate people of all races, colors, and cultures. Maybe, “Elie Weisel” can write a letter to help the monks who are being beaten and killed in Myanmar, formally know as “Burma”. I am sure that with his great reputation, it should help the monks in Myanmar achieve the religious freedom that they truly deserve! His positive feedback will greatly influence the government and the country of Burma to listen to what he has to say. He might organize and march in some type of peaceful demonstration, for the monks. The story of “Elie Weisel” has touched the entire world we all live in. Please post any comments?

I totally agree with you Christopher. I think Elie Wiesel was an amazing man who stayed strong and held fast to his religion despite the many horrors he had to live through. He endured so much pain but he survived and as a result he is able to speak out for victims of oppression everywhere.

That is really sad what happened to Elie Wiesel but he over came it. He reminds me of one of the greatest people of this world because it must have been so hard for him become who he is today and have had to grow up and go through what he did. I know I couldnt have done it.

I really enjoyed the interview and profile on Elie Weisel. I think he can teach a lot of people very important lessons. He is truly a survivor and I think it is important that he is sharing his experience and thoughts with the world. I liked his comments about
why he spoke out because he wanted the victims to be heard from and not just the enemy. I also liked his American Dream that no one should think they are superior to anyone else and people need to give back to other people.
