Eliezer Wiesel. The name that touches and changes people in ways unknown to those the Nazi death camps left untouched. The modern day's desensitized generations tend to submit to ignorance when it involves what mankind is capable of.

His time spent with Moshe, talking for hours on end, would prove to be the most profound time of Elie's life. Elie's father tells him: "You're too young Â… to venture into the perilous world of mysticism" (Wiesel, 1-2), but Elie feels that his "initiation [into mysticism]...
