Un di Velt Hot Geshvign
Un di Velt Hot Geshvign (And the World was Silent) is the title of the original Yiddish version of Elie Weisel's Night, his autobiographical novel based on his experience during the Holocaust. The work was first published in Buenos Aires. Wiesel compressed and rewrote that book in French with the title La Nuit, and later in English as Night.
According to Naomi Seidman, the original was published in 1956 in volume 117 of Dos poylishe yidntum by Mark Turkov, a Buenos Aires based Yiddish editor and publisher. [1]
