Invitation from Forum 2000 Foundation and Václav Havel to Elie Wiesel for a conference in Prague

This document is an email from Guy Hinrichs to Marilyn Harran, dated April 8, 2014, with the subject "Farewell Dinner". The email begins with a list of names, likely attendees or individuals associated with the event. The sender indicates that the section on "Temianka" was too interesting to edit, leading into the main content: three detailed biographical sketches. The first sketch highlights Henri Temianka (1906–1992), a renowned violinist, conductor, educator, and founder of the Paganini Quartet and California Chamber Symphony, detailing his efforts to free his parents from Nazi and Franco's camps and his significant contributions to classical music in Southern California. The second sketch introduces Mark Hilbert, an avid collector of California Scene Paintings and founder of the California Scene Museum of Art. The third sketch focuses on Joel Moskowitz, the founder and CEO of Ceradyne, Inc., noting his success in advanced technical ceramics and his extensive philanthropic activities supporting various educational, health, and Jewish community organizations.

This document is S. J. RES. 231, a joint resolution introduced in the 98th Congress, 2nd Session, by Senators Christopher J. Dodd and Paul Laxalt on February 9, 1984. The resolution proposes the awarding of a gold medal to Elie Wiesel in recognition of his significant humanitarian efforts and outstanding contributions to world literature and human rights. It details Wiesel's international esteem as a novelist, teacher, philosopher, critic, historian, and humanitarian, and his distinguished citizenship. The resolution acknowledges his twenty-five published works, his role as a "spiritual archivist of the Holocaust," and his chairmanships of the President's Commission on the Holocaust and the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. It also notes his extensive work for human rights in various global regions and his numerous prestigious literary awards and honorary degrees. The resolution authorizes the President to present the medal and the Secretary of the Treasury to create it, allowing for the coining and sale of bronze duplicates.

This document, appearing to be a proposal or an internal note from Elie Wiesel to Jean-David Levitte, outlines an "International Nobel Prize Colloquium: Whither the 21st Century." The proposed event, tentatively scheduled for May-June 2010, aims to gather approximately fifty Nobel laureates and other influential personalities. The program is designed for two or three days, featuring four commissions dedicated to politics & economy, history & crises, power & ethics, and media & human rights. It also includes two daily plenary sessions and evening concerts with distinguished musicians. The document states that invitations would be extended by the President of the Republic and Elie Wiesel himself, reminiscent of a similar event in 1988. The colloquium is planned to conclude with the publication of a manifesto addressing major challenges facing the current generation. A handwritten note at the bottom, likely from Elie Wiesel, asks "My dear Jean-David... what do we do with it?" or "what do we make of it?".
