Yom HaShoah Program

Join us for a screening of Soul on Fire. Eighty years after his liberation from Buchenwald, we seek to understand the man behind Elie Wiesel's searing and widely read memoir Night. Told largely through his own words and eloquent voice, Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire seeks to penetrate to the heart of the known and unknown Elie Wiesel (1928-2016)—his passions, his conflicts and his legacy as one of the most public survivors of the trauma of the Holocaust. With unique access to personal archives, original interviews and employing hand painted animation, the film illuminates Wiesel’s biography as a survivor, writer, teacher, public figure and Nobel Peace Prize winner. We will be joined by Elisha Wiesel, Chairman of the Board of the Elie Wiesel Foundation and son of Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. Elisha is an American businessman, hedge fund manager, social activist, and philanthropist.
