Elie Wiesel: Messenger to All Humanity, Revised Edition

Elie Wiesel: Messenger to All Humanity is a call to both Christians and Jews to face the tragedy of the Holocaust and begin again. Robert McAfee Brown was a friend of Wiesel and wrote Elie Wiesel: Messenger to All Humanity to process his own thoughts, engage with Wiesel’s thinking, and inspire others to read and engage with Wiesel’s own works. First published in 1983, this book grapples with the horrors of the Holocaust without overshadowing or speaking over Jewish survivors. Brown writes with care and sensitivity and does not shy away from the true magnitude of the tragedy and suffering. As he says in the introduction, “Although we cannot enter Elie Wiesel's world, we can let him enter ours.” This text lets Wiesel enter our world and allows us to learn from him through the eyes, ears, and heart of a friend.
