About this audiobook

In this first volume of his two-volume autobiography, Wiesel takes us from his childhood memories of a traditional and loving Jewish family in the Romanian village of Sighet through the horrors of Auschwitz and Buchenwald and the years of spiritual struggle, to his emergence as a witness for the Holocaust's martyrs and survivors and for the State of Israel, and as a spokesman for humanity.

"From the abyss of the death camps Wiesel has come as a messenger to mankind--not with a message of hate and revenge, but with one of brotherhood and atonement."
--From the citation for the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize

    For anyone to suffer the scourge of the Nazi Holocaust, survival is an enduring memory of questions and thoughtful reflection. Elie Wiesel did survive the Holocaust and went on to a successful career as a writer and champion of Israel. I think Wiesel's life and writing is summed-up nicely from page 354 of this book: "What is the difference between Jews and Christians? We all await the Messiah. You believe He has already come and gone, while we do not. I therefore propose that we await Him together. And when He appears, we can ask Him: were You here before?

    I love Wiesel's work. All Rivers Run to the Sea fills in a lot of personal information on his life and especially his mental world, of modern thought, mere survival, Zionism and Hasidim.

    This is the prequel -- "All Rivers run to the sea"-- to the "And the Sea is never filled" volume of his Memoirs. The author is a gifted Teller who experienced first-hand events that should not have been witnessed even from afar. Fortunately, he is able to survive injustice with what remains in the complete absence of Shekina, to give us a kavannah: More than mere Memoir, makes another chapter in the rich and storied tradition of the Aggadah.

    This will be my back-to-school read!

    After 3 months, I have finally finished reading this book - it is a pretty intense read, a definitely must-have, a tear-jerker had I not read it at public places.
