We at the Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center join the world in mourning the passing of Elie Wiesel. As with all of us, Mr. Wiesel's grave marker will include his year of birth and his year of death along with other things. The most important is the dash that will appear between the years. It is what we do while we are alive. Elie Wiesel has set an example for all of us to follow. Dealt a horrible hand through no fault of his own, he dedicated his life to reminding the whole world about the tragic consequences of bigotry and hatred especially when it is state sponsored. He was relentless in his pursuit of providing necessary knowledge to countless individuals and taught the importance of tolerance and love. His mission is our mission and we will soldier on. On this sad week we can smile a little bit knowing that we are doing important work in educating our young people. Our 30 survivors and liberators, our heroes, continue and will continue to provide their eyewitness testimony to tens of thousands of area students. Thank you for being part of our mission.

FYI--through a chance meeting two years ago, Mr. Wiesel was informed about our accomplishments. He smiled and thanked us. We smiled and thanked him.
