| | | Set in a Ukrainian village in the year 1649, this haunting play takes place in the aftermath of a pogrom. Only two Jews, Berish the innkeeper and his daughter Hannah, have survived the brutal Cossack raids.
| Author Bio| Elie Wiesel | | After a traditional Jewish childhood education, Wiesel was sent to a concentration camp in 1944, when he was 15. His parents and a sister died in the camps, but Wiesel survived Buchenwald and was sent to France after the war, where he eventually studied at the Sorbonne. He became a journalist for a French newspaper, traveling the world in search of stories--largely in the Middle East, where he covered Israel's war for independence in 1948. His Holocaust memoir, NIGHT, was published in 1958. Wiesel settled in the U.S. in the mid-1950s. He worked as a journalist in New York City and began to write prolifically: novels, short stories, essays, and short biographies and sketches. In 1964 he abandoned newspaper work to devote his time to his own writing. He has received numerous awards and academic appointments, and has been an energetic spokesperson for humanitarian causes. In 1986 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. |
