Memorandum on Concepts for the Holocaust Memorial/Museum from Elie Wiesel's Literature
This memorandum, dated November 19, 1982, from Eli Pfefferkorn to Micah Naftalin, addresses the role of Elie Wiesel's literature in the planning of the Holocaust Memorial/Museum. Recognizing that Elie Wiesel may not be consistently active in planning discussions, the memo suggests developing a manual containing excerpts from his novels and short stories. It proposes that these works, along with witness accounts, can provide essential themes, scenes, characters, ideas, and sensibilities that history books may not capture. The document emphasizes that Wiesel's writings and testimonies offer crucial insights into the realities of ghetto, camp, and hideout existences, which are vital for shaping the museum's vision and providing perspectives that transcend rational understanding. Elie Wiesel is also noted as a carbon copy recipient of this memorandum.
