 | Elie Wiesel: Messenger to All Humanity, Revised Edition Subjects: Wiesel Elie 1928– -- Criticism and interpretation; Holocaust Jewish (1939–1945) in literature; Wiesel Elie 1928– -- Religion and ethics; Holocaust (Jewish theology); Upon presenting the 1986 Nobel Prize for Peace to Elie Wiesel, Egil Aarvick, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee, hailed him as "a messenger to mankind--not with a message of hate and revenge but with one of brotherhood and atonement." Elie Wiesel: Messenger to All Humanity , first published in 1983, echoes this theme and still affirms that message, a call to both Christians and Jews to face the tragedy of the Holocaust and begin again. Robert McAfee Brown (1920--2001) was professor of religious studies at Stanford University and a Protestant member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council. |
