Letter to Elie Wiesel regarding the Knight Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit

Jacob Dolinger, a Professor of Private International Law at Rio de Janeiro State University, writes to Professor Elie Wiesel on March 11, 2015, from Raanana, Israel. Dolinger explains that after making aliya to Israel and briefly teaching law at Haifa and Barilan Universities, health issues led him to write a 500-page book. This book delves into the Holocaust, Armenian genocide, international human rights, terrorism, and critiques the United Nations' policies and blunders, specifically the Human Rights Council and the International Court of Justice. He advocates for the closing of the United Nations and the creation of a new world organization. Dolinger mentions that he quoted Wiesel in his book regarding the Armenian genocide and the Holocaust, as well as discussing the Cambodia tragedy and the ex-Yugoslavia war, and significant historical moments of the past 70 years. He is attaching a "Short Summary" of his book and requests Wiesel to provide a recommendation to help him find a publisher.
