Elie's little sister was Tzipora.
Tzipora was the youngest of Elie Wiesel's three sisters. Sadly, she did not survive the Holocaust, perishing along with their mother shortly after their arrival at Auschwitz.
Elie's Sisters
Elie Wiesel, a renowned author, Nobel Laureate, and Holocaust survivor, had three sisters: Hilda, Beatrice, and Tzipora. Their family was deported from Sighet, Transylvania, during the Holocaust.
Here's a breakdown of their fates:
| Sister's Name | Relationship to Elie | Fate During the Holocaust |
|---|---|---|
| Hilda | Older Sister | Survived the Holocaust, including Dachau. |
| Beatrice | Older Sister | Survived the Holocaust, including Dachau. |
| Tzipora | Youngest Sister | Did not survive the Holocaust; perished at Auschwitz. |
Elie Wiesel himself, along with his father, Shlomo, endured unimaginable suffering in concentration camps like Auschwitz and Buchenwald. His seminal memoir, Night, recounts his experiences and the profound impact of the Holocaust on his life and faith.
