In the fall of 1965 the Israeli newspaper Haaretz sent a young

journalist named Elie Wiesel to the Soviet Union to report on the

lives of Jews trapped behind the Iron Curtain. “I would approach

Jews who had never been placed in the Soviet show window by Soviet

authorities,” wrote Wiesel. “They alone, in their anonymity, could

describe the conditions under which they live; they alone could

tell whether the reports I had heard were true or false—and whether

their children and their grandchildren, despite everything, still

wish to remain Jews. From them I would learn what we must do to

help . . . or if they want our help at all.”

What he discovered astonished him: Jewish men and women, young and

old, in Moscow, Kiev, Leningrad, Vilna, Minsk, and Tbilisi,

completely cut off from the outside world, overcoming their fear of

the ever-present KGB to ask Wiesel about the lives of Jews in

America, in Western Europe, and, most of all, in Israel. They have

scant knowledge of Jewish history or current events; they celebrate

Jewish holidays at considerable risk and with only the vaguest

ideas of what these days commemorate. “Most of them come [to

synagogue] not to pray,” Wiesel writes, “but out of a desire to

identify with the Jewish people—about whom they know next to

nothing.” Wiesel promises to bring the stories of these people to

the outside world. And in the home of one dissident, he is given a

gift—a Russian-language translation of Night, published

illegally by the underground. “‘My God,’ I thought, ‘this man

risked arrest and prison just to make my writing available to

people here!’ I embraced him with tears in my eyes.”
