FROM HRC:
HRC mourns the loss of Elie Wiesel, a hero whose commitment to justice, equality and love above all has set an example for us all to follow. https://www.hrc.org/…/hrc-statement-on-death-of-elie-wiesel…
FROM GEORGE TAKEI (ACTOR/ACTIVIST):
Today we lost a great voice in the fight against oppression. Elie Wiesel made his life's work to remember the dead and do all he could to make this world a more harmonious place. May we honor him in the same spirit.
