This document is a biographical article titled "Elie Wiesel: Bearing Witness," likely from the 2009 National Humanities Medalists collection. It details the life and work of Elie Wiesel, focusing on his role as a Holocaust survivor, writer, and advocate against injustice. Born in Sighet, Romania, in 1928, Wiesel's early life in a Hasidic Jewish community was shattered in 1944 with his deportation to Auschwitz and Birkenau, where his mother and sister were murdered, and his father died later in Buchenwald. After liberation, he wrote extensively about his experiences, most notably in his book *Night*, initially encouraged by François Mauriac. The article highlights his prolific writing career, including over forty books translated into multiple languages, and his work as a professor at Boston University. It also mentions his appointment by President Jimmy Carter to chair the President's Commission on the Holocaust, which led to the establishment of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 and later founded the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, dedicated to promoting international dialogue and combating intolerance. The document emphasizes Wiesel's unwavering commitment to memory and testimony as a means to prevent future atrocities and fight injustice.

Gfroerer states he enclosed three copies of the video and asks that one be passed on to Professor Wiesel and Marion, who requested a copy at an event in New York. He conveys his appreciation for their work through the Foundation and expresses that it was an honor to have produced the video and to have briefly met Elie Wiesel in New York.
