microsoft word because it's a paper The Nobel peace prize was established in 1901. Almost every year A person or a

organization will get a Nobel peace prize award in accordance with Alfred Nobel Living. The

people that win the nobel peace price are selected by the deeds they preformed that supported

people like Elie supported the jews some supported other races and religions and helped them a

lot. Elie lost his faith during the holocaust but maybe he got his faith back after he was freed

I picked Elie Wiesel because we read a book about him recently. there were many reasons he

won to the main reason was because he supported the Jews in their time of need. He wrote words

of wisdom to them. Elie Wiesel was born in 1928 on September 30th in Sighet Transylvania,

now part of Romania. When Elie was 15 him and his whole family were moved into ghettos. So

after words they were transported to Auschwitza death camp where lies about his age and

occupation. He was separated from his mother and sister, only his dad remained. His father got

ill and died awhile later. Elie was freed by the Americans, but he was sent to the hospital with

food poisoning. Elie survived but he would never think the same after watching so many

people get slaughtered. So he wrote books and supported the Jews. Elie wiesel was a great

inspiration to most people. Him of all people deserved to win after all they went through.

 After witnessing people suffering all this pain he supported his people with books and speeches.

My favorite book by Elie was Night. Im sure his other books are good as well. Most of his

Books are about the holocaust. Elie didn’t share his reward with anyone. He went through a lot

of ironic moments during that time also, and example would be, he got his gold tooth removed

by someone for something and then he got sent to another camp. Then another was he said he

wouldn’t turn out like the rabbii’s son did and yet he did. Then he could have been freed while

he was in the hospital wing but he didn’t. he left and didn’t get freed. The reason I chose elie

wiesel was because he supported the jews and his religion after all the bad stuff that happened.
