    I hope he finally finds the peace that he did not have in this vale of tears. RIP

    Thanks Jimmy.

    May you rest in peace and be bathed in eternal light Mr. Wiesel. You conquered your survivors guilt by living your life on behalf of the millions who did not survive the holocaust. You are one of my heroes and a giant among men. God bless you.

    A valiant and noble man, who never wavered in his pursuit of justice, despite all who denied and distanced themselves from the criminals that lived and prospered in our very midst.

    May he finally find peace.

    The Universe granted him the years to let the world know of the true horror man can bring on itself. May the Universe now give him the rest and joy of being with his family lost to that horrible catastrophe.

    Wow, what a loss. Having taught his devastating book "Night'" Weisel was a hero to me and every other member of the human race. I shudder to think how some very active twisted groups will continue to try to whitewash history once all of the survivors of that terrible Holocaust are gone. I took a couple of pictures from a very powerful Holocaust memorial of just hundreds of granite monoliths in a park in Berlin just recently, and will just leave a couple here in tribute. Rest easy, Mr. WeiselName:  image.jpg

    It has been my intention, for quite a while, to read some of his writings. I now will endeavor to do so.
