WITNESS Lessons from Elie Wiesel's Classroom

Narrator Jason Culp deftly gives voice to both sides of a dialogue between a student and a teacher that focuses on Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's storied life and unparalleled career as a human rights advocate. Culp subtly brings out Wiesel's distinct Eastern-European accent, contrasting it with the devout and curious tone of the young American Ariel Burger, who first met Wiesel as a rabbinical student at age 15. How was Wiesel able to survive the Holocaust, which took his parents? Where was God? Who will stand up for those caught in the next humanitarian crisis? For Wiesel, the answer lay in teaching the world to bear witness. This audiobook is insightful, life affirming, and life changing. B.P.
