Chlomo Wiesel was Elie Wiesel's father, who was present at the time of Elie's deportation to Birkenau-Auschwitz.

He died just before the liberation of the camps by the Americans in January 1945. Elie Wiesel, Chlomo's son, is a well known Holocaust Survivor and author, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 "for his message of peace." Accepted spellings of his name: Shlomo, Chlomo.

According to the book "Night" by his son Elie Wiesel, Chlomo took a blow to the head most likely caused by SS officers, shattering his skull, but still leaving him alive. Elie then said that his father was gone when he woke up in the morning, causing him to assume that his father had been taken to the crematory during the night and was most likely burned alive.
