Drawing from Elie Wiesel’s published work and the extraordinary archive of 180 lectures he gave at 92NY between 1967 and 2014, Elisha Wiesel offers candid and timely reflections on his father’s writings about the long shadow of Kristallnacht, the creation of the state of Israel, his unwavering belief in the resilience of the Jewish spirit. He is introduced by Rabbi David Ingber, Senior Director for Jewish Life and the Bronfman Center at 92NY.
