Product Description

The Nobel Peace Prize winner and the world s foremost author on the Holocaust experience takes a haunting journey to his hometown of Sighet, Romania for the first time in 20 years. Mr. Wiesel is made an honorary citizen of his hometown of Sighet, Romania, where he walks through the neighborhood in which he played and studied as a child. Despite mixed feelings, he sees a town unchanged since his deportation to Nazi concentration camps in 1944, except for one significant feature; not a single Jew lives in the entire village. Academy Award winning actor William Hurt reads passages from Mr. Wiesel s renowned writings, including his first and most honored work, Night, published in 1958.

Customer Reviews:

Good but slow-moving.......2006-07-02

I loved "Night" and really looked forward to spending some more time with this great man. At 108 minutes, though, it seemed like an eternity. Unfortunately, the Holocaust information is already familiar. The people "back home" are very reluctant to talk about the old days, and when they do speak they seem to have an attitude of non-responsibility. It's a bit unnerving knowing what we know about how civilians assisted in the rounding up of Jews and quickly moving into the vacated houses. Good narration by Hurt; additional interviews are very interesting.
