About the Film
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 through 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, original interviews and employing hand painted animation, the film illuminates Wiesel’s biography as a survivor, writer, teacher, public figure and Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Elie Wiesel H'12 spoke at Wagner College and was awarded an honorary doctorate in 2012, representing a significant moment in the launch of the Wagner College Holocaust Center.
RSVP requested to holocaust.center@wagner.edu.
Film Screening made possible by the Claims Conference as part of a global film series, "Strength of Courage".
