Dawn is a novel by Elie Wiesel, published in 1961. It is the second in a trilogy— Night, Dawn, and Day—describing Wiesel's experiences or thoughts during and after the Holocaust.[1]
Unlike Night, Dawn is a work of fiction. It tells the story of Elisha, a Holocaust survivor.

The novel covers his struggle with his inner demons.
