I'm a little hazy on Shlomo's accomplishments, but I can tell you a little about him and his influence on Eliezer. Shlomo Wiesel was Elie Wiesel's father. He was an Orthodox Jew who ran his own grocery store in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania in a place called Sighet. He was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944 and later Buna, where he was evacuated to Buchenwald sometime in the winter of 1944-45 and died on January 28-29, 1945 (he died sometime during that night so it is impossible to be sure exactly when he died) in Buchenwald (before the camp was liberated). Elie says that his father represented reason (while his mother faith). Though Shlomo was often busy with what Elie called "other peoples' destinies," and because of this Elie felt deprived from his father's attention, they grew close in Auschwitz and Buna and later Buchenwald. Shlomo was often busy with communal activities in Sighet. As for his actual accomplishments, I'm a little hazy, but I've read that it was he who instilled Elie's strong sense of Humanism. I hope this helped! You can read Elie Wiesel's novel/memoir Night for more details on Shlomo and Elie's experiences at Auschwitz and Birkenau. It's small, but it's detailed and emotional, a reflection of Elie's life during the Holocaust.
