Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel's Classroom

Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel's Classroom

In the vein of Tuesdays with Morrie, a devoted protÃ©gÃ© and friend of one of the worldâ€™s great thinkers takes us into the sacred space of the classroom, showing Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Elie WieselÂ not only as an extraordinary human being, but as a master teacher.

â€œWitnessÂ isÂ beautiful, and important . . . A superb piece of writing.â€ â€” Parker Palmer, best-selling author of The Courage to TeachÂ Â

The world remembersÂ Elie Wieselâ€”Nobel laureate, activist, and author of more than forty books, including Oprahâ€™s Book Club selection Nightâ€”as a great humanist. He passed away in July 2016.
Â
Ariel Burger first met Elie Wiesel at age fifteen. They studied together and taughtÂ together. Witness chronicles the intimate conversations between these two men over decades, as Burger sought counsel on matters of intellect, spirituality, and faith, while navigatingÂ his own personal journey from boyhood to manhood, from student and assistant to rabbi and, in time, teacher.
Â
In this profoundly hopeful, thought-provoking, and inspiring book, Burger takes us into Elie Wieselâ€™s classroom, where the art of listening and storytelling conspire to keep memory alive.Â As Wieselâ€™s teaching assistant, Burger gives us a front-row seat witnessing these remarkable exchanges in and out of the classroom.Â The act of listening, of sharing these stories, makes of us, the readers, witnesses.Â
