Elie Wiesel's birth on September 30, 1928, made him about 11 when World War 2 broke out. He was born in Sighet, a small town in Transylvania (in Romania). Transylvania is more well known as the location of vampires such as Count Dracula. Nevertheless, Transyvania started out as a part of Romania but became part of Hungary in 1940.
