What an amazing man. Rest in peace, Mr. Wiesel.
Holocaust survivor, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and prolific author and outspoken activist. Elie Wiesel died Saturday the age of 87. Wiesel was perhaps best known for his major role in promoting Holocaust education, and for perpetuating the memory of the Holocaust in the post-World War II era with his memoir “Night,” based on his experience as a teenager in the Auschwitz concentration camp.Eliezer “Elie” Wiesel was born on September 30, 1928 in the Romanian town of Sighet, to Sarah and Shlomo Wiesel. His maternal grandfather, Dodye Feig, was a member of the Vishnitz Hasidic sect; his strong influence over Wiesel was seen later in some of his writings. Wiesel received a traditional religious education while growing up in Sighet; many years later, in 2002, he returned to his hometown to dedicate the Elie Weisel Memorial House at the site of his childhood home.

A true giant among men.
May his inspirational words about his experiences surviving the Holocause serve as a reminder to all those who treasure freedom that bravery and courage will always prevail against tyranny.
Rest in peace.

May he Rest in Peace and enjoy reuniting with his family. No one should have to go through what they did to get to where they are now. Blessings to all that fight the fight. Blessings to all that teach us that struggle. May we never forget and never let it happen again.
(I know it happens everyday somewhere, but please not on this thread.)
