Elie Wiesel and Marion Wiesel

• ... that according to Joseph Berger, the marriage of Elie Wiesel to Marion Wiesel was one of the paramount reasons he became an international icon?

• Respectfully, I do not like Alt 1 because it is simply the meaning of Elisha, not something meaningfully interesting about Marion Wiesel. I also do not like Alt 2 because a quote of typical infatuation is not an interesting hook for DYK. I like Thriley's proposal, but for a reader unfamiliar with Elie Wiesel, "international icon" could refer to fame for anything from fashion to sports. Also, the pronoun "he" in the hook could refer to Joseph Berger or Elie Wiesel, so we need specificity. Accordingly, I suggest:

• Alt0b: ... that according to Joseph Berger, the marriage of Elie Wiesel to Marion Wiesel was one of the paramount reasons that Elie became an international authority on the Holocaust?

• Also, if there is consensus for Alt 2, note that I have swapped the link to Berger's book in the article because we should not be linking to dokumen.pub, a host of pirated content. ViridianPenguin 🐧 ( 💬 ) 16:00, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• User:Thriley Thanks. I was struggling to come up with a hook. --2603:7000:2101:AA00:896D:92:B85F:9FCA (talk) 22:25, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to the editor who cropped the image of the husband and wife. This is beyond me, but can someone further crop it, taking more off the right, so the image in the infobox is no longer off-center? That's beyond my skills. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:896D:92:B85F:9FCA (talk) 17:15, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This photo appears to be (left to right) Elie Wiesel, their son, and Marion Wiesel. Is it ok for the article (if cropped)?

The image seems better uncropped in depicting Elie Wiesel reading even when seated at a crowded restaurant, and it nicely establishes Marion Wiesel in the foreground before rows of people. I would not speculate whether the child seated between them is their son though. The image's listing in the National Library of Israel database does not identify him, so we need not speculate when the subject of this article is Marion.

So ok for this article? Btw - it’s not a restaurant. It says it is a convention of victims who survived the Holocaust in the Bergen Belzen concentration camp, held at the diaspora museum Beit Hatfutzot. And he simply has the book closed before him. It may be a present he was given or was giving , etc. --2603:7000:2101:AA00:7511:6A5F:698B:4DD8 (talk) 08:26, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
