Letter from Mayor of Sauveterre de Guyenne to Elie Wiesel proposing to name a street

Josette Keisermann, President of "Handicap Amitié Culture - Cercle International d'Etude de Rencontre et de Solidarité « Elie Wiesel »", writes to Elie Wiesel on June 23, 2014. She informs him that she has asked her nephew, a lawyer, to formalize their verbal agreement for the publication of a CD version of his work, "La Nuit" (Night). She is sending him a draft contract for this purpose. Keisermann expresses her deep belief in the value of "La Nuit", especially in the current political climate in France, which she, as a French Jewish woman, feels is a betrayal. She states that his work remains a major defense and a powerful testimony from Shoah survivors, emphasizing the dignity of each person. She concludes by expressing her affection and looking forward to hearing from him.
