This letter from the Forum 2000 Foundation invites Elie Wiesel to deliver an introductory speech at their annual conference, scheduled for October 21-23, 2012, in Prague. The letter begins by recalling the foundation's origins in 1996, initiated by Václav Havel, Elie Wiesel, and Yohei Sasakawa, and emphasizes its ongoing commitment to democratic principles, support for dissidents, and championing civil society. It notes the recent passing of President Havel and Executive Director Oldřich Černý but reaffirms the foundation's dedication to their shared legacy. The letter also mentions the expansion of the Forum 2000 International Advisory Board and outlines the upcoming conference's focus on the relationship between democracy and the media, particularly concerning changes in the Arab world. A postscript expresses gratitude for Wiesel's keynote speech at the 2009 Holocaust Era Assets conference in Prague.

Isi Leibler of the World Jewish Congress writes to Elie Wiesel on March 8, 1990, regarding a recent visit to Czechoslovakia. The letter and its attached notes describe a dinner with President Václav Havel at Koloděje Mansion. During the dinner, Leibler, along with Edgar Bronfman, raised the issue of plundered Jewish artifacts (Judaica) held by the Jewish Museum in Prague. Leibler argued that a significant portion of the collection was confiscated by the Nazis from Jews across Europe and should be transferred to the Israel Museum as heirless property. President Havel agreed to form an international commission to address the issue and specifically requested that Elie Wiesel be a member. Leibler expresses his hope for a successful resolution, seeing it as a crucial precedent for restitution from other Eastern European countries. He also notes that he has spoken with Martin Weyl of the Israel Museum, who is willing to cooperate.
