The Elie Wiesel Foundation

Today marks 10 years since Elie’s passing according to the Jewish calendar, and the urgency of his work has never felt greater. We must do whatever we can to stop the RSF and the ongoing catastrophe in Sudan. Please visit bloodontheball.org (http://bloodontheball.org/) to learn more about the disturbing link between the upcoming NBA final and the atrocities in Sudan.

Today, we proudly march! 🇮🇱

We owe a debt of gratitude to Haim Zohar, Dr. Alvin Schiff, Dan Ronen, and so many more phenomenal voices who worked to create a space for the Jewish community in NYC. But we are especially grateful to a lifelong friend of Elie’s who we lost just last year at the age of 100, the legendary Ted Comet. In his book All Rivers Run To The Sea, Elie described Ted as a “smiling young American Jew” who came to volunteer at the orphanage where Elie stayed after being liberated. Ted’s legacy lives on through this parade, and being able to attend gives us enormous joy.

Imagine having your cultural dances outlawed…
The Khmer Rouge regime tried to erase Cambodian culture. As Sophiline’s story shows, Cambodian traditional dance is an important medium for telling the stories that the regime tried to silence. Preserving these mediums of expression aids us in remembrance work.
