    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded Elie Wiesel the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 for bringing a message of "peace, atonement and human dignity" to the world through his writing. Egil Aarvik called Wiesel "a witness for truth and justice" who overcame humiliation to become "one of our most important spiritual leaders and guides."
