Elie Wiesel:
stories...
Elie Wiesel was born in the small town of Sighet in Transylvania.The secure world of Wiesel's childhood ended abruptly with the arrival of the Nazis in Sighet in 1944. The Jewish inhabitants of the village were deported en masse to concentration camps in Poland. The 15 year-old boy was separated from his mother and sister immediately on arrival in Auschwitz. He never saw them again. He managed to remain with his father for the next year as they were worked almost to death, starved, beaten, and shuttled from camp to camp on foot, or in open cattle cars, in driving snow, without food, proper shoes, or clothing. In the last months of the war, Wiesel's father succumbed to dysentery, starvation, exhaustion and exposure.

Louis Begley and Benjamin Jacobs
things to say...

Begley was born Ludwik Begleiter in Stryi at the time part of Poland and now in Ukraine, as the only child of a physician. He is a survivor of the Holocaust due to the multiple purchases of Aryan papers by his mother and constant evasion of the Nazis. They survived by pretending to be Polish Catholic. The family left Poland in the fall of 1946 and settled in New York in March 1947.
He studied English Liturature in Harvard College and graduated Harvard Law School.

pictures:

Benjamin Jacobs..........

things to say...

Berek Jakubowicz (now Benjamin Jacobs), a Jewish dental student who in 1941 was deported from his Polish Village to a Nazi labor camp and remained a prisoner of the Reich until the last days of the war.

Jacobs is convinced that he owes his survival through four years of atrocities and near-starvation to his possession of a few dental tools and rudimentary skills. The Nazis commandeered his services, first to work on the teeth of inmates and later on those of SS officers. At Auschwitz he was even forced to work on corpses, cracking their jaws to remove gold teeth and fillings.

things to say...

As a five-year-old boy Alex Kurzem had witnessed the massacre of his fellow Jewish villagers, among them his mother, baby brother and sister. Kurzem escaped into nearby woods where he survived by scavenging and stealing clothes from dead bodies, until he was found and handed over to Latvian police, who “adopted” him as a mascot.

A short summary about Anne's life. In the last paragraph, there's a little bit mention about her dad and how he found Anne's diary after the war. He visited Miep(Mr. Frank's friend who helped the family to hide in a secret place during holocuast) after the war and Miep gave the diary to him because he found it.

"Of all the occupants of the Secret Annexe, only Mr. Frank survived. Anne's red-checkered diary was found by Miep—one of the friends who had helped hide the Franks. Miep gave the diary to Mr. Frank when he visited after the war."
