Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire

A Free Film Screening and Discussion

Elie Wiesel appears in his younger years, wearing a dark suit jacket and a light-colored shirt. He sits sideways in a wooden chair, his body turned slightly toward the camera while his hands are tightly clasped in front of him. His expression is serious, with a deep, focused gaze.

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 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 and public figure.

After the film, stay for a discussion between one of the film’s producers, Patti Askwith Kenner, and Wallenberg Institute director Jeffrey Veidlinger.

Co-presented by the University Musical Society (UMS), the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of the University of Michigan, and the Michigan Theater.
