Answer:

In slightly over 100 pages of disjointed and scant storytelling, Wiesel wrote on the death of god and his hatred with humanity.

Wiesel's contempt was reflected in the reversal of the parent-child relationship, as he became a resentful adolescent caretaker to his father, who was deteriorating to the point of helplessness.

When Wiesel was 16 years old and Buchenwald was liberated by the US Army in April 1945, it was too late for his father.

After being beaten, the latter died, while Wiesel lay silently on the bunk above, fearful of being thrashed as well.

Wiesel relocated to Paris after the war and finished an 862-page Yiddish manuscript describing his experiences in 1954, which was published in Argentina as Un di Velt Hot Geshvign with 245 pages, popularly known as And the World Remained Silent.

Wiesel was assisted in finding a French publisher by Francois Mauriac, a well-known author.
