Elie Wiesel - A Messenger to Mankind
Elie Wiesel was born in 1928 in Transylvania, which is now part of Romania. When he was fifteen years old, he and his family were forced by the Nazis to come to Auschwitz. Only he and his two older sisters survived.
After the Second World War, Elie Wiesel studied in Paris and later became a journalist. During an interview with the famous French writer, Francois Mauriac, he was persuaded to write about his experiences in the death camps. The result was his book, Night, which has been translated into more than thirty languages. As a devoted supporter of human rights, Elie Wiesel has defended the cause of Soviet Jews, Nicaragua’s Miskito Indians, Cambodian refugees, the Kurds, victims of famine and genocide in Africa, of apartheid in South Africa, and victims of war in the South Africa, and victims of war in the former Yugoslavia. He is President of The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, an organization he and his wife created to fight indifference, intolerance and injustice.
Teaching has always been central to Elie Wiesel’s work. He has been teaching at many famous universities all over the world. He is the author of more than sixty books of fiction and non-fiction, including “A Beggar in Jerusalem”, “The Fifth Son”, “All Rivers Run to the Sea”, “And the Sea is Never Full”, etc.
For his literary and human rights activities, he has received numerous awards and in 1986 he won the Nobel Prize for Peace.

People have come to settle in Britain for centuries from many parts of the world. Some came to avoid political or religious persecution, and others came to find a better way of life or an escape from poverty. The Irish has long made home in Britain. Many Jewish refugees started their new life in the country at the end of the nineteenth century. In 1930s and after the World War II a large number of people from other European countries came to live there. There also have been many people who came from some countries in Asia. According to the results of a recent survey the non-white population of Great Britain was about 2.4 million, 4.5% the total population. Only half of them were born in Britain. Most of the non-white refugees live in the poorest areas of the cities or in the countryside, where they can only get the worst services and low living standards. All they have to suffer is due to racial discrimination. Although progress has undoubtedly made over the last twenty years in several areas, life is not really better to many non-white refugees.
