Summary: a beautiful exploration
Comment: I was assigned to write a report about Elie Wiesel for English class. In this class, we had to read a book by the author and get information about their background, etc. I went to the library to find "Night Trilogy" but it was out, so I got the other books by Elie and read the covers and decided this would be a nice book to start with and follow it with "The Generation After". I must say I was hooked. After reading "Night", this book gives you even more insight into his life and makes his other works even more touching. A definite must read.

Summary: Profoundly inspiring and insightful...
Comment: In this work, Wiesel relates a telling anecdote of his youth when the Vishnitzer Rebbe blessed his mother that her son should grow up to be a "gadol b'yisroel." In his humility, Wiesel concludes that this proves even a great tzaddik can be wrong. Mr. Wiesel, I respectfully disagree, as his blessing came true in the fullest sense. In All Rivers Run to the Sea, we enter Wiesel's formative childhood years. We meet his friends, teachers, and family and what a rich, beautiful experience it is! We are then taken through his years of suffering in the Holocaust. Be prepared to cry during this chapter. A diversion from the autobiography is the moving chapter, "G-d's Suffering: A Commentary." We then learn of Wiesel's life after the war. We meet his perplexing, brilliant, elusive teacher Shushani. Wiesel describes an incident in which he refused to engage in sexual relations with an attractive German woman after the war. I felt consumed with joy for Wiesel's overcoming this great test from on High. At the end of this work we learn of Wiesel's relationship with the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe, R'Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994). Perhaps I'm biased, but this ranks among my favorite sections of this work. I can hardly wait to begin the second volume of memoirs.

Summary: I'm reading this book just in the aftermath
Comment: of watching the Morris film Dr. Death, and I can't help but wonder about the mentality and motives of Holocaust deniers. Read this book by Wiesel, read all his books, and educate yourself about the period.
