Francois Mauriac was a Catholic journalist who encouraged Wiesel's to re-compose his original, Yiddish-written manuscript titled, And the World Remained Silent into the much shortened and changed French novel published as Night.
When Francois Mauriac wrote the preface to Night, Elie Wiesel's account of his survival at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, the French Catholic Nobel laureate described his attempt to provide a religious response to a much younger Jewish writer who had seen far more than he had of man's inhumanity to man.
