Letter of Thanks to Dr. Elie Wiesel from Kiyo Akasaka (UN)

This email, forwarded by Elodie Deglaire to Jamie Moore, contains a request from Agnès Pizzini of Maha Production for an interview with Elie Wiesel. The interview is intended for a documentary series on the franco-german channel ARTE, as part of a special event commemorating the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, focusing on New York City. The series, titled "9/11 Memories," aims to feature "great figures of our time" reflecting on their experience of that day. The interview would be brief (5-10 minutes) and could take place in either Paris or New York, broadcast on September 11, 2011. Maha Production, co-founded by Jean-Xavier de Lestrade and Denis Poncet, is known for documentaries, including the Oscar-winning "Un Coupable Idéal." Deglaire asks Moore to manage the proposal and reach out if necessary.

This document is an excerpt from the Congressional Record, dated October 17, 1986, featuring a speech by Senator Christopher J. Dodd. The speech honors Elie Wiesel for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, praising his monumental contributions as a witness to the Holocaust. Dodd emphasizes Wiesel's writing, teaching, and personal testimony for helping survivors tell their stories and ensuring the world remembers the horrors of concentration camps such as Dachau, Treblinka, Buchenwald, Bergen-Belsen, and Auschwitz. The speech underscores the importance of remembering the 6 million murdered Jews and condemns Holocaust deniers. It also acknowledges Wiesel's broader work on human suffering and genocide in various global conflicts, including those in Cambodia, Central America, Lebanon, Northern Ireland, Biafra, and Vietnam. The document includes a handwritten inscription from "Chris" (likely Christopher J. Dodd) to Elie Wiesel, stating, "To Elie - I wish my words below Could more accurately Senate Capture my true feeling for you my friend Love always Chris."
