In this Sept. 12, 2012, photo Elie Wiesel is photographed in his office in New York. Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial says Elie Wiesel has died at 87. Elie Wiesel never lived in Israel, but the death of the esteemed author and Nobel peace laureate is being treated in Israel like the loss of a national icon. As perhaps the world's most famous Holocaust survivor, Wiesel was championed in Israel as a symbol of the Jewish people's journey from the depths of darkness to the redemption of having a land of their own.
