In this concluding volume of his poignant memoirs, Elie Wiesel, now a renowned writer at forty, resolves to advocate more vigorously for Holocaust survivors and the marginalized. He declares, "I will become militant. I will teach, share, bear witness." His words become his weapon as he embarks on a journey filled with unwavering battles. Wiesel engages with world leaders and travels to conflict-ridden regions to address pressing global issues. He defends persecuted Jews and dissidents in the Soviet Union, fights against apartheid in South Africa while supporting Mandela, and calls attention to atrocities in Cambodia and Bosnia. As an emissary for President Clinton, he visits refugee camps in Albania and Macedonia. He criticizes Ronald Reagan for his visit to Bitburg and supports Lech Walesa while challenging some of his views. Wiesel confronts Francois Mitterrand over misrepresentations of his past and battles Holocaust deniers. He joins young Austrians protesting against rising fascism and is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Throughout his journey, Wiesel remains deeply connected to Israel, reflecting on its leaders and internal conflicts. He recounts the establishment of the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., shares his emotional return to Auschwitz, and remembers his lost family and Yitzhak Rabin.

Au 58, rue de la Mare, nel XX arrondissement di Parigi, vivono i Guttman e i Roginski. Fuggendo dall'orrore dei pogrom, le due coppie sono arrivate, una dall'Ucraina nel 1919, l'altra dalla Polonia nel 1921, e hanno avuto ciascuna un bambino: Maurice ed Elsa. Sono lavoratori, calorosi. Vogliono dimenticare, integrarsi e la loro naturalizzazione li fa piangere di gioia. La vita è bella! Tuttavia, la crescente insidiosa dell'antisemitismo fa sorgere una strana paura e crea problemi lavorativi. Gli anni passano con gioie e dolori, ma la storia si avvia verso il incubo. Addio Volodia. Un'ampia affresco della Francia dal 1925 al 1945, con i suoi fatti di cronaca, i suoi omicidi politici, il suo Fronte popolare... Un meraviglioso romanzo con molti personaggi indimenticabili, ricco di aneddoti divertenti, umorismo, ritratti accurati, emozioni, violenze e paure, amore e tenerezza.

Wie, tussen ons gezegd en gezwegen, heeft nooit de indruk gehad dat hij gek werd? En is iedereen niet op zijn manier waanzinnig? De New Yorkse hoofdpersoon van deze roman denkt dat hij waanzinnig wordt door een teveel aan herinneringen. Hij besluit zich van zijn fantomen te ontdoen en zoekt derhalve een psychoanalyticus op. Tijdens lange sessies in haar praktijk vertelt de hoofdpersoon haar zijn levensverhaal. In Een waanzinnig verlangen om te dansen ontvouwt Elie Wiesel zijn herinneringen aan de twintigste eeuw en de rampen die plaatsvonden. Het is een roman over het leerproces van jezelf ontdekken tot in de duisterste spelonken, maar ook een boek over een innerlijk avontuur dat wordt voortgestuwd door de wil om te weten en de zekerheid dat alleen liefde de diepste wonden kan genezen.
