“Perhaps no man alive achieved the suasive power of moral conviction that Dr. Wiesel did, through his writings of searing, emphatic, unswerving witness and by virtue of a thoughtful, urbane life as an unparalleled teacher and counselor to the captains and kings of the world.” -Dr. Donald R. Eastman III, Tribute to Dr. Elie Wiesel
