A Good website about Elie Wiesel and the Holocaust

http://www.eliewieselfoundation.org/eliewiesel.aspx
The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity is about equality and tolerance and combating indifference.
It talks about Elie Wiesel and his life after the holocaust and also about darfur and it has its own darfur refugee program for refugees from the genocide in Darfur who have been given safe haven in Israel.
Some interesting things I found out on the website: 1 Wiesels book Night was originally called La Nuit. It was also translated into thirty languages.
2 In 1978, President Jimmy Carter appointed Elie Wiesel as Chairman of the President's Commission on the Holocaust. ;)
3 Elie Wiesel is the author of more than forty books of fiction and non-fiction. <:0

I had no Idea Elie Wiesel did so many things. I just thought he was so popular because he lived through the holocaust and wrote ONE BOOK about the holocaust. @_@

So overall this is an awesome website and whoever reads this should go there. now. I said Now. Why are you still reading this? go to the website already.
wow you really are a tough nut to crack. alright I give up you go do whatever you want I'll be over there waiting for something cool to happen. #~# peace =p
