  <about><![CDATA[Eliezer Wiesel is a Romania-born American novelist, political activist, and Holocaust survivor of Hungarian Jewish descent. He is the author of over 40 books, the best known of which is &lt;i&gt;Night&lt;/i&gt;, a memoir that describes his experiences during the Holocaust and his imprisonment in several concentration camps.

Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. The Norwegian Nobel Committee called him a &quot;messenger to mankind,&quot; noting that through his struggle to come to terms with &quot;his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler's death camps,&quot; as well as his &quot;practical work in the cause of peace,&quot; Wiesel has delivered a powerful message &quot;of peace, atonement and human dignity&quot; to humanity.

On November 30, 2006 Wiesel received an honorary knighthood in London, England in recognition of his work toward raising Holocaust education in the United Kingdom.
