Elie Wiesel, Author of Night, Aged 12

Our English class is studying the memoir Night, by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. I worked in a group with ella-jaye, elise to create an Empathy Map for Elie at this age.

Take a screenshot of your Empathy Map and paste it here.

Then a short paragraph(s) describing Elie and his life at this time.

Elie is around twelve years old. He is Jewish and extremely religious, he is eager to learn more about his religion. His father says that he should start learning at 30 and not at such a young age because he wouldn't be able to comprehend it. Since his father wouldn't help him with his studies he found his own master in kabbalah who is called Moishe the beadle, who helps him understand more about his religion.
