he has not received any awards or distinctions during his lifetime.

In actuality Wiesel has received many awards and distinctions during his lifetime. These include the Congressional Gold Medal, the Nobel Peace Prize, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His novel, Night, has also received distinctions. Since the statement says that he did NOT receive any of these, it is a false statement. In looking at the other statements, they are all true. He was born in 1928 in Sighet (now in Romania). He started out as a journalist and writer before becoming a professor at City University of New York and then Boston University. Lastly Wiesel lived in both Auschwitz and Buchenwald during the Holocaust.
