Legends of our time

Wiesel relates his many encounters with Jewish people or those who had an impact on modern Jewish life as he travels in the post-WWII world. His stories include a young Catholic man struggling with ancestral documentation of his Jewish heritage, the notorious Auschwitz guard whom he meets on a Tel Aviv bus, and the rabbi who fasted on Yom Kippur to confront God's response to the Holocaust
