RIP: Elie Wiesel - Ombligo - 07-02-2016
Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor and author who fought for peace, human rights and simple human decency, has died at the age of 87, a spokesman for Israel's Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, said Saturday.
Wiesel, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, recounted his family being sent to the Nazi concentration camps in his first book, "Night," which was published in 1955.
Wiesel was also well known for tracking down war criminals from Nazi Germany in the years after World War II.

Guess it won't be much longer until we say goodby to the last survivor. Then the next generations will have to take over as carriers of the memory.

RIP. We could use more like him with the rise of the neo-Nazis hate groups.

Elie Wiesel was a voice of rational thoughtfulness in a world where politicians are using power and fear to control whole populations. This man was a giant among us!
