This document consists of an email from Nobel laureate Roger Guillemin to Marissa Poock, dated July 25, 2014, and an attached or referenced news article from Le Figaro, dated July 24, 2014. In the email, Guillemin expresses concern about a fatwa issued by the Islamic State in Mosul, Iraq, ordering the excision (female genital mutilation) of women, which he describes as "plain barbarism." He indicates that he wants to bring this text to the attention of Elie Wiesel, a fellow Nobel laureate and a person he has previously met, to explore the possibility of a sponsored initiative by Nobel laureates to address this issue. The accompanying Le Figaro article, authored by Lucile Quillet, details the fatwa, stating it potentially affects four million women and girls between 11 and 46 years old in Mosul. It quotes Jacqueline Badcock, UN humanitarian coordinator in Iraq, who emphasizes the new and concerning nature of this development. The article also provides broader context on female genital mutilation, citing UNICEF figures that over 130 million girls and women have undergone the practice in 29 countries in Africa and the Middle East.

This email, forwarded by Elodie Deglaire to Jamie Moore, contains a request from Agnès Pizzini of Maha Production for an interview with Elie Wiesel. The interview is intended for a documentary series on the franco-german channel ARTE, as part of a special event commemorating the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, focusing on New York City.

This document is an email from Guy Hinrichs to Marilyn Harran, dated April 8, 2014, with the subject "Farewell Dinner". The email begins with a list of names, likely attendees or individuals associated with the event. The sender indicates that the section on "Temianka" was too interesting to edit, leading into the main content: three detailed biographical sketches. The first sketch highlights Henri Temianka (1906–1992), a renowned violinist, conductor, educator, and founder of the Paganini Quartet and California Chamber Symphony, detailing his efforts to free his parents from Nazi and Franco's camps and his significant contributions to classical music in Southern California. The second sketch introduces Mark Hilbert, an avid collector of California Scene Paintings and founder of the California Scene Museum of Art. The third sketch focuses on Joel Moskowitz, the founder and CEO of Ceradyne, Inc., noting his success in advanced technical ceramics and his extensive philanthropic activities supporting various educational, health, and Jewish community organizations.
