“Sanford Sternlicht has produced an excellent book for the general reader who knows some of Elie Wiesel's writings and wants to learn more about his work....[r]eaders will be delighted with Sternlicht's sensitive and elegant analysis of Wiesel's contribution to literature in the post-Holocaust era.”–
“Students who know Anne Frank need to meet Elie Wiesel. Both were teenagers during World War II. Wiesel, however, was not hidden by his neighbors and managed to survive the Holocaust....Highly recommended.”–
