Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate, has died

Activist and writer Elie Wiesel, the World War Two death camp survivor who won a Nobel Peace Prize for becoming the life-long voice of millions of Holocaust victims, has died, Israel's Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem said on Saturday.

Wiesel, a philosopher, speaker, playwright and professor who also campaigned for the tyrannized and forgotten around the world, was 87.

Elie,

Thank you for your tireless service unto all mankind.

The world is now a darker place without you.

You will be missed.

Glorified and sanctified be God’s great name throughout the world
which He has created according to His will.

May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days,
and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon;
and say, Amen.

May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.

Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored,
adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He,
beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that
are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us
and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

He who creates peace in His celestial heights,
may He create peace for us and for all Israel;
and say, Amen.

Hi @kartographer

I can't recall ever weeping for a famous person's death but I did today.

I had to read "Night" when I was 12 1/2 studying for my Bat Mitzvah. It moved me but I can still recall as a young child seeing great aunts and uncles with numbers tattooed on their wrists.

Thank you for posting this, I'm surprised no one else is commenting but maybe people are away because of the holidays.
G-d bless America. G-d bless us all                                 

Adopt a puppy or kitty from your local shelter
Or an older dog or cat. They're true love❤️

There are rare people who make you take a look at your life and harshly realize that you ain't all that and you ain't never gonna be all that. Elie Wiesel was one.

Rest well.  :patriot:
