Elie Wiesel's mother and younger sister perished in the gas chambers at Auschwitz during the Holocaust. His father died from dysentery and exhaustion while they were imprisoned in the Buchenwald concentration camp.
His mother and sister were sent to the crematoria and his father died because of illness. His father was so sick, that he had to be sent to the crematoria while Elie was asleep. When Elie woke up the next morning and his father's body was replaced with someone elses, he assumed his father had been sent to the crematorium.
It is believed that she died in a gas chamber along with her mother, in Auschwitz in Poland. She was 7 years old.
Maria, the Wiesels' former maid (servant), offered to try to hide the Wiesels with her own family in the country, but Elie Wiesel declined her offer of help.
