Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'Night' was written by Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel to describe some of his experiences as a 15 year old lad during the Holocaust. What companion book did he also write?

Answer: Dawn

'Night' and 'Dawn' are actually part of a trilogy with the third book called 'Day' or 'The Accident'.
Elie Wiesel, often called 'the prophet of the Holocaust', wrote and spoke about his experiences in the Holocaust. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.

2. The subtitle for Elie Wiesel's book 'Night' was:

Answer: And the World Remained Silent

The world's silence was often the most difficult part for Wiesel to accept. The complicit silence was deafening.
This book was so well-written that in 2006 Oprah Winfrey, after reading the book, traveled to Auschwitz with Wiesel and taped a show from there.
'Night' has been translated to over 30 languages.

3. Eliezer Berkowitz penned a book describing theological questions arising from the Holocaust. What was it called?

Answer: Faith After the Holocaust

I remember that Berkowitz spoke at our high school shortly after the book came out.
Theodicy was a major question he addressed. The most impressive point he made was that we cannot judge those who lost their faith in the Holocaust. In addition, we can also not judge those whose faith was strengthened by the Holocaust.

4. Which psychiatrist wrote a book about his experiences in the Holocaust and in the German death camps?

Answer: Viktor Frankl

Frankl, who describes himself as a student of Freud and Adler, was 35 when he and his family were imprisoned in the Nazi death camps. He lost his parents and wife who were murdered in the camps. His sister survived and moved to Australia.
Frankl himself returned to Vienna after the war where he continued practicing psychiatry.

Answer: Man's Search for Meaning

'Mans's Search for Meaning' was written by Dr. Viktor Frankl after his liberation from Nazi death camps.
He wrote it in just a few days and originally wished to publish it anonymously.
The original name of the book was '...To Nevertheless Say "Yes" to Life: A Psychologist Experiences the Concentration Camps'.
'The Real Story' and 'The Holocaust' are made up names.
'What Happened?' is a book written by Hillary Clinton though not about the Holocaust.

6. In 'Teacher's Guide to the Holocaust', the following groups were listed among those targeted by the Nazis: Gypsies, physically disabled, Jews, people from African descent, Jehovah's Witnesses and homosexuals.

Answer: True

Though the Jews were the most targeted group by the Nazis, many other groups of civilians were targeted for torture, segregation or murder.

Answer: War Against the Jews

This book is a well-chronicled history of the period from 1933-45, the years of Hitler's reign. It shows how the "Final Solution", the eradication of European Jewry and creating a Judenrein (Jewish-free) state, was the intention all along.

Answer: Were We Our Brothers' Keepers?

The author, Rabbi Dr. Haskel Lookstein discusses in depth five events during the course of the Holocaust and the official and unofficial reaction of American Jewry to these events. He also presents the historical and social context in America during WWII.

9. This diary written by a teenage girl, Anne Frank, gave us a fascinating peek into the daily lives of Jews in hiding during the war years. What was the name of this book?

Answer: The Diary of a Young Girl

Anne Frank, the author, was 13 years old when her family went into hiding to escape being caught by the Nazi police for being Jewish.
Her diary was discovered after the war by her father, the lone survivor of the family.
Anne died of tuberculosis weeks before the camps were liberated by the Allied forces.
A famous quote from this book is - "In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart."

10. This autobiographical work is about a female singer in Paris who was in the Auschwitz death camp. What is the name of this book which later became a movie starring Vanessa Redgrave?

Answer: Playing for Time

Fania F�nelon was offered a choice to sing as part of a choir for the German guards and, by agreeing, her life was spared. This story tells yet another side of life under Nazi occupation.
The author was strongly against the casting of Redgrave in the lead role.
