Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust Survivor and author, likely references this figure metaphorically in his writing to convey the overwhelming presence of death and suffering during the Holocaust.
Elie Wiesel's reference to the "Angel of Death" is often associated with Dr. Josef Mengele, a Nazi SS officer who conducted inhumane and deadly experiments on prisoners at Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. Mengele's cruel actions earned him the notorious nickname "Angel of Death."
