How long did Elie Wiesel wait to write?

Answer 1

When Elie Wiesel was liberated from Buchenwald in 1945, having also been in Birkenau, Auschwitz, and Buna, he imposed a ten-year vow of silence upon himself before trying to describe what had happened to him and over six million other Jews. When he finally broke that silence, he had trouble finding a publisher. Such depressing subject matter.

Answer 2

I'm not positive, but it could have been because the experience of being in the Holocaust was so horrific.I know that most of the people that survived the Holocaust do not even want to think about it again. Some even get surgery to have their tattoos taken out because that reminds them of the terrible things that happened to them.

Answer 3

Elie waited 10 long years after he got liberated, then wrote about his experiences in a book, called Night.

Answer 4

You mean in a concentration camp?
I believe it was roughly around a year.

Answer 5

Elie Wiesel waited about 10 years before he began writing about his experiences during the Holocaust. His famous autobiographical work, "Night," was first published in 1956.
