This letter, dated January 7, 2015, from David G. Marwell, Museum Director & CEO of the Museum of Jewish Heritage, is addressed to Mr. Elie Wiesel. The letter invites Mr. Wiesel to a conference for educators, sponsored by Fanya Gottesfeld Heller, focusing on using literature to teach about the Holocaust. The Museum expresses its desire to present Mr. Wiesel with the first 'Fanya Gottesfeld Heller Tribute Award' at this event, recognizing his profound contributions to understanding humanity and the tragic history of the Holocaust through his writing. The letter concludes by asking Mr. Wiesel to confirm his attendance.

Rebecca offers her friend Maria medical advice, updates her on Maria's sister's travels, and discusses the rewards and joys of raising and teaching children.
