Invitation from Václav Havel to Elie Wiesel regarding the VIZE 97 Prize
This document is an unofficial English translation of a letter from Václav Havel to Elie Wiesel, dated June 9, 2003, in Prague. Havel, on behalf of the Dagmar and Vaclav Havel Foundation VIZE 97, invites Wiesel to the foundation's annual prize ceremony in October. He explains that the 2003 laureate is the American economist and thinker Robert B. Reich. Havel details the mission of his foundation, which he co-founded with his wife Dagmar, and the history of the VIZE 97 Prize, listing past laureates such as Karl H. Pribram, Umberto Eco, and Joseph Weizenbaum. The core of the invitation is a request for Wiesel to participate as a panelist in a discussion organized to coincide with the prize ceremony. The foundation offers to cover all costs for a three-day stay in Prague. A postscript adds that Wiesel's presence is also a wish of the laureate, Robert Reich.
