In commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day,
the Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley presents the documentary about
Elie Wiesel, the Nobel Prize-winning author of “Night.”
Eighty years after his liberation from Buchenwald, we seek to understand the man behind Elie Wiesel’s searing and widely read memoir "Night." Told largely in his own words and eloquent voice, "Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire" seeks to penetrate to the heart of the known and unknown Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) - his passions, his conflicts, and his legacy as one of the most public survivors of the trauma of the Holocaust. With unique access to personal archives and original interviews, and employing hand-painted animation, the film illuminates Wiesel’s biography as a survivor, writer, teacher, and public figure.
Chairs: Joan and Richard Bass
