To suffer, as defined in the dictionary, means to undergo or feel pain or great distress. Another way to say it is to sustain injury, disadvantage, or loss. And yet another way to define suffering is to say to endure or be afflicted with something temporary or chronically. If they were to ask Elie Wiesel what his definition of suffering was, he would have a lot to say and what he told them would be more horrible than their wildest dreams. It is hard to relate to something of the magnitude of Elie's suffering, without actually being there, but after reading his book I have a whole new understanding and sympathy for the Holocaust victims. Elie's story took place while he was a very young boy, approximately 14. His friend (town beggar) Moshe, had been somewhat helping with his studies until all the foreigners were forced to leave the town. Sneaking back in several weeks later Moshe told of the stories that he had witnessed. They were gruesome accounts of what the Nazi's were doing to innocent children. His stories were payed little attention, but soon the townspeople were being forced to leave and migrate towards ghettos. From there it was just waiting till they were moved by train to the concentration camp
