55:28Now PlayingNadine Epstein discusses her book, "Elie Wiesel, an Extraordinary Life and Legacy", with Robert Siegel, formerly of NPR.
A survivor of Auschwitz, Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) devoted his life to ensuring that the Holocaust never be repeated nor forgotten. He left a legacy rich in teachings, writings—some 57 books, including his classic Night—along with institutions such as the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity. In 1975 he co-founded Moment Magazine as a place of conversation for American Jews. Moment’s editor since 2004, Epstein pays tribute to Wiesel, her friend and mentor, with this beautiful collection of stories, memories, photos, and interviews with those who knew him, including his son Elisha, Michael Berenbaum, Wolf Blitzer, Father Patrick Desbois, Ronald S. Lauder, Bernard-Henri Lévy, Kati Marton, Natan Sharansky, Ben Kingsley, and Oprah Winfrey.
Epstein is in conversation with Robert Siegel, former co-host of NPR’s All Things Considered.
