Email: Request for Letter of Recommendation for Apartment Co-op Approval
Elie Wiesel Digital Archive
Email ·
May 24, 2012
An email thread from May 2012 concerning a request for a letter of recommendation. Alan Dershowitz and Carolyn Cohen recently purchased an apartment in New York City at Sutton Place and 54th Street and require approval from the co-op board. As part of the approval process, they need letters from individuals who can professionally vouch for their integrity and positive statements as potential residents. Alan Dershowitz is specifically asking "Elie" to write a short letter for this purpose, emphasizing the urgency of the request. The email details where to address and send the letter (Alan Dershowitz's Cambridge address or email). The email chain involves Carolyn Cohen sending the initial request, which is then forwarded by Jean J. McIntyre to Adrienne Mansard, who is asked to forward it to "EW".

Elie Wiesel Digital Archive
Conference Program ·
Unspecified day in April, 2015
This document is a program for an 'Evening of Holocaust Remembrance' held at Chapman University. The event, which took place in April 2015, features a multi-faceted commemoration including musical performances of works by George Enescu, Meir Finkelstein, George Rochberg, and Ilse Weber. Readings from the works of Elie Wiesel are also presented. A significant portion of the program is dedicated to personal testimonies from Holocaust survivors and a second-generation participant from various countries, accompanied by students and educators. The program concludes with a candle-lighting ceremony led by a cantor and reflections by university deans and directors. The event aims to honor the memory of the Holocaust through art, personal stories, and educational outreach.

Expert Testimony of Solomon Grayzel
Solomon Grayzel Papers
Document · August 5-6, 1958
In Schempp v. School District of Abington Township, Dr. Solomon Grayzel testified that the “Bible” being read in Abington’s schools was not a neutral text across faiths, emphasizing key differences between Jewish scripture and the Christian Bible—most notably the inclusion of the New Testament, which Judaism does not accept. He explained that certain New Testament passages and Christian claims (e.g., Jesus as the Son of God) are contrary to Jewish belief and could be experienced by Jewish students as religiously offensive when presented in a school devotional exercise.  That testimony became part of the factual record in the three-judge federal district court proceedings (reported at 177 F. Supp. 398), and after the district court ruled the practice unconstitutional, the case went up on direct appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.  In its 1963 decision, the Supreme Court explicitly summarized Grayzel’s testimony in the case’s factual background as it evaluated whether the school-sponsored reading was a religious exercise incompatible with required governmental neutrality toward religion.

Fax from Jack Lang to Elie Wiesel on Human Rights and International Responsibility
Elie Wiesel Digital Archive
Letter ·
June 5, 2003
This document is a three-page fax from Jack Lang to Elie Wiesel. The first page is a fax cover sheet dated September 10, 2003 (though the transmission report indicates June 5, 2003), introducing the new Air France Director in New York, Monsieur Marie-Joseph Malé, and providing his contact details. The subsequent two pages contain a reflective essay or speech fragment, likely authored by Jack Lang, addressed informally to "Elie." The text discusses the urgent lessons learned from past errors, emphasizing the supreme duty to expose and denounce evil. It highlights the international community's delayed but eventual intervention in Bosnia and Kosovo, contrasting it with a perceived failure to act in Tibet and Rwanda. The author stresses the moral role of conscience in public affairs and praises the engagement of young people in the fight for human rights, which has become a "secular religion" for them. The essay concludes by quoting Albert Camus: "There is more to celebrate in man than to denigrate," questioning if this holds true for the coming century. The overall theme is a call for vigilance, solidarity, and active protest against injustice and indifference.
