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

This two-page letter from David Brooks Andrews to Elie Wiesel, dated May 10, 1993, addresses two main points. First, Andrews thanks Wiesel for a statement provided several months prior for a profile of Liv Ullmann in Felix, a publication of the European Film Academy. He informs Wiesel that he received a call from New Moon, a Jewish publication in London, requesting a review of 'Sofie,' a film based on a Jewish story, and that Liv Ullmann gave him another interview. Andrews proposes to conclude his review/interview with a summary of Wiesel's quote about Ullmann as an 'intellectual refugee' who serves as a 'bridge between the world and its Jewish neighbors' through 'Sofie,' and asks for Wiesel's feedback on this summary. Second, Andrews thanks Wiesel for his 'stiff rebuke' to President Clinton regarding Bosnia during his speech at the dedication of the Holocaust Memorial Museum, expressing hope that something meaningful will be done to halt 'ethnic cleansing.' He also includes a practical note about faxing him.
