In memory Elie Wiesel(Sep 30, 1928 - Jul 02, 2016)



Elie Wiesel, Nobel laureate,  was a great teacher, writer, humanitarian and he wrote my graduate school recommendation. I studied with him in a classroom of 35 at Boston University for two semesters. When I gave my book report in his class, French TV was there. Elie always asked us to see the beauty in the world but not to forget the ugliness. Every class was an inspiration. He had a firm, solid handshake. He asked me what I found beautiful in this world. In our private meeting, he told me that I would be a teacher one day.

RIP Elie.
thank you for your work, effort, inspiration and compassion.
