Don Swaim Interviews

Audio Interview with Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel

 

Elie Wiesel, author of Night, Dawn, and Day, Souls on Fire, The Forgotten, and The Oath speaks with Don Swaim about Wiesel’s career as a writer. As a Holocaust survivor, Wiesel has a unique position of understanding. He feels there are conflicts of interest that go into writing about the Holocaust, and there are also people who wish to shield us from the past. He believes that there is something in that event which we need to comprehend, not ignore. Wiesel and Swaim talk about this and more in this 1986 interview.
