A Conversation with Elie Wiesel
Called a "messenger to mankind," Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel will visit the University of Chicago. He will be interviewed by David Axelrod, director of the UChicago Institute of Politics. Wiesel will discuss his lifelong dedication to addressing the moral responsibility of all people to fight hatred, racism and genocide. In his words, “When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must—at that moment—become the center of the universe.”
This event is free and open to UChicago students, faculty, staff and the public.
