Elie Wiesel
Fuzzy’s Pizza Katy in Texas is offering customers a limited-edition box and a commemorative USPS stamp to honor the legacy of the late Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize laureate Elie Wiesel.
USPS held a first-day-of-issue ceremony for an Elie Wiesel stamp at the 92nd Street Y in New York City.
“Jews in the world community from all side needs to find common ground,” said director Oren Rudavsky. “I think he would have sought to unify people, even if we believe different things.”
“Wiesel was a voice for victims and survivors of the Holocaust and fought for human rights at every opportunity,” the U.S. Postal Service stated.
Israel Forever Foundation hosts a historic ‘Declaration Day’ celebration at a Jerusalem hotel to reaffirm Israel’s independence on May 14.
“It is with profound grief that we share that Marion Wiesel—activist, wife, mother and grandmother—passed away this morning, February 2nd, 2025.”
The New York artist, who drew for “The New York Times” for decades, developed a close connection with the Altneuschul in Prague and often drew on Jewish history and faith, including in works syndicated in JNS.
Elie Wiesel’s son told JNS that nothing is like the Holocaust, but the Chinese persecution of the Muslim minority has the “feeling of the Nazi machinery.”
Elie Wiesel “believed that honoring the victims of the Holocaust must be an active undertaking, not just a history lesson,” said Mike Igel, board chair of the Florida Holocaust Museum.
The 2023 law requires U.S. agencies to describe their efforts combating crimes against humanity.
“To utilize my father’s name in such vile accusations is so far beyond the pale that I am staggered by the silence in response,” wrote Elisha Wiesel.
