Greetings Everyone!
This week the world lost a voice that was often called, "The Conscience of the World." Elie Wiesel contributions have ranged from his magnificent book, Night, which is often required reading in American high schools to the establishment of the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, he has been described by The Norwegian Nobel Committee as "one of the most important spiritual leaders and guides in an age when violence, repression and racism continue to characterize the world." Ellie Wiesel was 86 years old.
I apologize for this very abbreviated Weekly Update. I have been encountering technical difficulties with a borrowed laptop that I am using while visiting my son's family. I apologize for irregular fontsizes, spacing errors, and missing posts. Next week's Weekly Update will include all of the information from this week and next.
There is still much to do! Online petitions are quick and easy. Urgent Actions can be personalized and can offer hope to political prisoners. Let your voice be heard and shine a light for humanity;s sake.
-Debbie, Weekly Update Editor
