The contributions of Elie Wiesel to literature were influenced by his traumatic experiences during the Holocaust. Survivor guilt and the responsibility to bear witness to the horrors he endured played a pivotal role in shaping his writing. His seminal work, "Night", serves as a powerful testament to human resilience and the struggle for identity in the face of unspeakable suffering. Wiesel's later advocacy for human rights and his experiences in concentration camps further informed his literature, conveying the urgency of remembering the past to prevent future atrocities.
