Interview with Elie Wiesel for Der Spiegel: Reflections on the Holocaust and Post-War Life
In this interview with Der Spiegel, Elie Wiesel reflects on his experiences during the Holocaust and his views on post-war Germany and Israel. He expresses concern over Germany's initial forgetfulness of Kristallnacht during its 1990 unification celebrations but is pleased with the current sensitivity of German youth and Germany's consistent support for Israel. Wiesel discusses the concept of collective guilt, emphasizing individual responsibility over intergenerational blame. He recounts his early life in Sighet (then part of Hungary, now Romania), his deportation to Auschwitz in May 1944, and the separation from his family, detailing the inhumane conditions in Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Monowitz-Buna. He shares his father's suffering and death in Buchenwald, and his own struggle with faith and humanity following the atrocities, stating that his passion for study helped him maintain sanity. Wiesel describes the death march to Gleiwitz, the liberation of Buchenwald, and his subsequent career as a writer and activist. He stresses his role as a witness to the Holocaust and the importance of testimonies in preserving its memory, while expressing skepticism about docudramas that might distort the truth of such sensitive events.

Letter from Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation to Marion and Elie Wiesel regarding cancer research and patient empowerment
This letter, dated May 29, 2015, from Kathy Giusti, Founder & Executive Chairman of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), is addressed to Marion and Elie Wiesel. Giusti shares two recent articles published on NBC.com and Forbes.com that discuss data sharing and patient empowerment in cancer research. She emphasizes the MMRF's commitment to open communication of scientific findings and making clinical and genomic data publicly available to accelerate the discovery of new targets and precision medicine. One article, "What Cancer Patients Need to Know," is an outgrowth of a Dateline appearance with Tom Brokaw, providing guidance for cancer patients. The other, "Want Precision Medicine? Share your Data," highlights the importance of data sharing. Giusti thanks the Wiesels for their friendship and support, acknowledging their impact on MMRF's progress. A handwritten postscript expresses hope that Marion and Elie are well and would find the articles interesting, and suggests meeting for lunch soon.
