Holocaust Survivor, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel Dies at 87
Israeli President Reuven Rivlin said that Wiesel was a "hero of the Jewish people, and a giant of all humanity." Rivlin called him "one of the Jewish people's greatest sons, who touched the hearts of so many, and helped us to believe in forgiveness, in life, and in the eternal bond of the Jewish people. May his memory be a blessing, everlastingly engraved in the heart of the nation."
RIP Elie Wiesel

Re: RIP Elie Wiesel
The local paper has a quarter page article today. President Rivlin's remarks are wonderfully eloquent.
