Letter from President Ronald Reagan to Elie Wiesel regarding his resignation from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council

A letter from the Palace of Monaco, dated May 11, 2006, thanks Mr. Elie Wiesel for accepting to preside over the jury of a special prize to be presented at the inaugural Monaco Media Forum (October 19-21, 2006). The letter highlights the forum's aim to gather media and communications leaders and venture capitalists, and its importance in drawing attention to freedom of expression and information, liberties still denied to a large part of the world's population. The author notes that the prize's description, focusing on "Innovative use of Media for the betterment of humanity," is still evolving and invites Mr. Wiesel's suggestions for nominees. The letter is signed by "Albert de Monaco," referring to Prince Albert II of Monaco.

This document is a program for an "Evening of Holocaust Remembrance" held at Chapman University, featuring readings from the works of Elie Wiesel. It includes a detailed biography of Elie Wiesel, highlighting his life as a writer, teacher, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and human rights advocate, with a focus on his experiences during the Holocaust. The program lists the performers (singers, instrumentalists, and readers) and the creative and production team involved in the event. It presents selected texts from Wiesel's works, emphasizing themes of memory, the Holocaust, and the human capacity to remember and confront oblivion.

Pilar Rahola, a Spanish journalist, criticizes the international press and the European left for their biased reporting and stances on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Islamic dictatorships. She highlights the lack of demonstrations against Islamic dictatorships (e.g., Sudan, Burma), women's enslavement, and child soldiers, contrasting it with strong opposition to Israel. Rahola argues that the left often confuses support for Palestinians with defense of terrorism and disproportionately criticizes democratic states like the US and Israel while ignoring abuses in countries like Syria, Yemen, and Iran. She points out instances in Spain, such as a socialist mayor changing Holocaust remembrance day to "Nabka Day" and the Barcelona city council inviting a known terrorist, Leila Khaled. Rahola concludes that her non-Jewish background compels her to fight anti-Semitism and defend Israel, as its destruction would signify the destruction of liberty, modernity, and culture. She asserts her duty as a journalist to seek truth beyond prejudice and manipulation.

A letter dated May 27, 1979, discussing a recent symposium, likely on the Holocaust. The author expresses disappointment with the symposium's lack of a clear vision but praises two lectures, one by Struchlitz and another by Shlomo Barzinitz, along with his own lecture on 'Memory and Imagination,' which was cut short. The author reveals that he wrote an article about the symposium for 'Haaretz' but withheld it out of respect for Struchlitz. He also mentions his involvement in the 'Program Committee for Holocaust Studies,' his efforts to introduce literary works into the curriculum, and his upcoming work to translate 'Plea for the Survivors.' He also discusses the importance of collecting Holocaust testimonies and literary works, mentioning his visits to archives like Yad Vashem and Ghetto Fighters' House, and anticipates a trip to Poland.
