Day, originally published in 1962 as The Accident is the third book by Elie Wiesel. Day is the fictional story of a Holocaust survivor who is struck by a taxicab in New York City. While recovering from his injuries, the main character reflects on his relationships and his experiences during the war. Note that Wiesel was struck by a taxi cab in New York City one year after arriving in United States, so it can be inferred that some personal experience is added into this book.
