Description   Elie Wiesel Publisher: Schocken Books Conversations with Elie Wiesel is a far-ranging dialogue with the Nobel Peace Prize-winner on the major issues of our time and on life’s timeless questions. In open and lively responses to the probing questions and provocative comments of Richard D. Heffner—American historian, noted public television moderator/producer, and Rutgers University professor—Elie Wiesel covers fascinating and often perilous political and spiritual ground, expounding on issues global and local, individual and universal, often drawing anecdotally on his own life experience. We hear from Wiesel on subjects that include the moral responsibility of both individuals and governments; the role of the state in our lives; the anatomy of hate; the threat of technology; religion, politics, and tolerance; nationalism; capital punishment, compassion, and mercy; and the essential role of historical memory. These conversations present a valuable and thought-provoking distillation of the thinking of one of the world’s most important and respected figures—a man who has become a moral beacon for our time. "Wiesel speaks with prophetic authority, philosophical wisdom and a storyteller's verve and vivacity ... These lively, engaging talks offer candid glimpses into the life and work of a leading moral thinker." – Publisher's Weekly “Elie Wiesel has become a witness for truth and justice. From the abyss of the death camps he has come as a messenger to mankind—not with a message of hate and revenge but with one of brotherhood and atonement. Wiesel is not only the man who survived, he is also the spirit which has triumphed. . . . His aim is not to gain the world’s sympathy for the victims or the survivors. His aim is to awaken our conscience because our indifference to evil makes us partners in the crime. . . . I doubt whether any other individual, through the use of such quiet speech, has achieved more or been more widely heard. The words he uses are simple, and the voice that speaks them is gentle. It is a voice of peace. But its power is intense.” —From the Nobel Peace Prize presentation speech by Egil Aarvik, Chairman, Norwegian Nobel Committee   Related Products...
