Remembering Elie Wiesel

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jul 5, 2016

Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor, Nobel Peace Prize winner and author of many books including Night, died on Saturday. He was 87.

Here to remember Wiesel: Matthew Lazar, founding director of the Zamir Choral Foundation and musical director of "Elie Wiesel in Concert: Memories & Melodies of My Childhood," and Rabbi Ariel Burger, an educator, consultant, artist and longtime student of Elie Wiesel.
