If You Could, What Would You Ask Elie Wiesel Thursday at Kent State?

A few tickets remain, but 5,200 people are expected to go to Elie Wisel's appearance Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center. 

Wiesel is a Boston University professor, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize recipient. He's the author of the world renowned memoir Night — a piece about his experiences during World War II and the loss of his family to German death camps.

Wiesel was born in 1928 in Sighet, Transylvania, which is now part of Romania, and was just 15 when he and his family were deported by Nazis to Auschwitz, according to his biography. His mother and younger sister died at the concentration camp in occupied Poland but his two older sisters survived. Wiesel and his father were transported to Buchenwald, where his father died days before the camp was liberated in April 1945.

"Anyone who’s heard Elie Wiesel speak before knows he’s just a profound speaker — a life changer," Kent State President Lester Lefton previously said.

Wiesel is scheduled to speak for about 45 minutes with a question and answer session to follow. Doors open at 5:45 p.m.
