PrintableProf. Wiesel's sincerity was so powerful. 
I watched him on her show the following day as well...when he walked into the studio, I cried. I felt proud of him.
I will read Night for sure.  | |

did anybody see the follow up show yesterday? i only caught a small portion of it, but it seemed like they were featuring a young woman from Rwanda who talked about her ordeal during their civil war. i'm sorry i missed it - seemed like a very interesting show. | |

Yes, I saw part of this, but not all of it. What went on in Rwanda was/is despicable. If you want a good, haunting read about Rwanda (fiction) I highly recommend the book "Sunday at the pool in Kilgali". It left a huge impression on me and left me feeling helpless and so grateful for where I was born. | |

It was quite powerful (although I could only take a quick glimpse). There were two girls who had survived the machete masacres and are now living in the United States. Incredulously, Oprah had found the parents (I think they may have been sisters) and there was the most amazing reunion. Elie Wiesel has more grace than almost anyone I know. He spoke about the travesties in these countries. I'll try to go through it more thoroughly tonight ~ sorry for the sketchy information. It was a very compelling show ~ I've been distracted with Gangsta's health issues and a missing kittycat  so am a little unfocused right now.Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. --Kahlil Gibran | |

Some time ago, Oprah announced a competition for high school students who had read Night. Winners were to receive a college scholarship. This show was to honor 50 winners ~ AT & T gave each student a $5000.00 scholarship and Oprah matched it ~ $10,000.00 for each of these 50 kids to go to the college of their choice! Some of the essays were quite profound ~ a great show! Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. --Kahlil Gibran | |

Am I the only one that has a problem with her having a BIG SMILE in this billboard?
I mean, maybe something a tad more serious would have been appropriate.
