Elie Wiesel Commemorating his Father

http://www.yadvashem.org
Elie Wiesel, recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace, was 15 when the Nazis deported him, along with his family, from their home in Transylvania to Auschwitz. Losing both his parents and younger sister in the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel has made it his lifelong goal to teach the world about the Holocaust. In the video he commemorates his father by filling out a Page of Testimony for Yad Vashem's Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names. By filling out a Page for his father, who perished in Buchenwald concentration camp shortly before liberation, Elie Wiesel added his father to the millions of Holocaust victims commemorated by family and friends. Through the Pages of Testimony the victims names and identities are restored, that which the Nazis and their collaborators had tried to erase forever.

Just looking at his face tells us everything he's been through in those years. Easily one of my biggest inspirations.

hundreds of millions of people survived carpet bombings agent orange, gulag, khmer rouge, kim ir sen, turkish genocide or whatever, things american audience usually has no clue about, and their life goes on. relatively soon it will be 100 years since "this" holocaust took place and i am pretty sure even my grandchildren will have to be reminded of it every single day, as it was the biggest lesson of mankind forever.
