'''''Dawn''''' is a [[book]] by [[Elie Wiesel]] published in 1961. ''Dawn'' is sometimes considered to be a [[sequel]] to ''[[Night (book)|Night]]'', Wiesel's account of his experiences during [[the Holocaust]].

However, unlike ''Night'', ''Dawn'' is a work of [[fiction]]. It tells the story of Elisha, a [[Holocaust survivor]]. After the war, Elisha 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 [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Officer (armed forces)|officer]] at dawn, and the [[novel]] covers his struggle with his inner [[demon]]s.

The main character's name in ''Dawn'', Elisha, is presumed to derive from the author's own name of Eliezer, possibly for reasons such as "predicting" what his life could have been like if he had chosen a different path after the Holocaust, of which he was also a survivor.
