A new House bill would honor the late holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winning author Elie Wiesel by authorizing the placement of a statue in his likeness in the Capitol.
Wiesel, who died July 2, was born in Romania in 1928 and was sent to Auschwitz at the age of 15. After surviving the concentration camp, he moved to America and became a writer and political activist.
