This letter, dated April 14, 2014, is from Bill Greenberg of Watertown, MA, to Elie Wiesel. Greenberg writes as the one-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombings approaches, sending Wiesel a "Watertown Strong" calendar created by the Watertown Police Foundation to foster community spirit. He notes that the calendar includes a poem by an 11-year-old Watertown resident, Hannah Marie MacDonald. Greenberg also offers a contribution to The Elie Wiesel Fund for Humanity and expresses anticipation for Wiesel's "Three Encounters" at Boston University in the fall. The letter mentions Jean Maras, with whom Greenberg has spoken, and concludes by sharing an anecdote about Becca Gilbert, a 9-year-old heart transplant survivor, who was thrilled by Wiesel's inscribed biography, "Open Heart." Becca's parents, Gary and Amy, teach her about Nelson Mandela and Wiesel's life lessons.
