Dawn

Movies
Based on the 1961 book by Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, Dawn is an account of Wiesel's experiences during the Holocaust. It tells the story of Elisha, a Holocaust survivor who moves to the British Mandate of Palestine and joins a terrorist group determined to oust the British from the area. One night, Elisha is told that he must execute a British officer at dawn, and the story covers his struggle with his inner demons. Adapted for television by Jack Kuper, himself a Holocaust child survivor.
