The Choice [Le choix]
Author(s): Elie Wiesel
<em>The Choice</em> marks Wiesel’s dramatic effort to explore the depths of our human capacity to kill.

Three individuals in a small, dark, cold room detain three prisoners. They must select those who will remain alive and choose the one who will die and be executed—they are faced with an overwhelming choice.
