In the U.S., Wiesel wrote over 40 books, both fiction and non-fiction, and won many literary prizes. Wiesel's writing is considered among the most important works in [[The Holocaust in art and literature|Holocaust literature]]. Some historians credit Wiesel with giving the term 'Holocaust' its present meaning, but he does not feel that the word adequately describes the event and wishes it were used less frequently to describe less significant occurrences such as everyday tragedies (Wiesel:1999, 18).
 
He was awarded the [[Nobel Peace PrizePerdamaian]] in [[1986]] for speaking out against violence, repression, and racism. He has received many other prizes and honors for his work, including the [[Congressional Gold Medal of Honor]] in [[1985]] and election to the [[American Academy of Arts and Letters]] in [[1996]]. Wiesel has published two volumes of his [[memoirs]]. The first, ''All Rivers Run to the Sea,'' was published in [[1994]] and covered his life up to the year [[1969]] while the second, titled ''And the Sea is Never Full,'' and published in [[1999]], covered the years from 1969 to 1999.
 
Wiesel and his wife, Marion, started the Elie Wiesel Foundation for [[Humanity]]. He served as chairman for the [[Presidential Commission on the Holocaust]] (later renamed [[U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council]]) from 1978 to 1986, spearheading the building of the [[United States Holocaust Memorial Museum|Memorial Museum]] in [[Washington, DC]]. In 1993, Elie Wiesel and [[President Clinton]] lit the [[eternal flame]] in the memorial's [[Hall of Remembrance]] during the opening dedication ceremony].
