Nobel for Elie Wiesel
NZPA-Reuter Oslo The Jewish-American author and human-rights campaigner, Elie Wiesel, has won the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel committee said. Wiesel, aged 58, a survivor of Nazi concentration camps, won the twomillion Swedish crown ($531,900) prize for his “belief that the forces fighting evil in the world can be victorious,” the committee said. Wiesel, who lives in New York, has been called the spiritual voice of the six million Jews who died in World War 11. He coined the term "holocaust” to describe the massacre.
