Translated by Peggy Frankston

Introduction by Radu Ioanid

On March 1, 1995, at the time of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, ARTE (a French-German state-funded television network) proposed an encounter between two highly regarded figures of our time: Elie Wiesel and Jorge Semprún. These two men, whose destinies were unparalleled, had probably crossed paths—without ever meeting—in the Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald in 1945. This short book is the entire transcription of their recorded conversation. 

This is a co-published title with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
