In the vein of Tuesdays with Morrie , a devoted prot g and friend of one of the world\'s great thinkers takes us into the sacred space of the classroom, showing Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Elie Wiesel not only as an extraordinary human being, but as a master teacher.
The act of listening, of sharing these stories, makes of us, the readers, witnesses..
As Wiesel\'s teaching assistant, Burger gives us a front-row seat witnessing these remarkable exchanges in and out of the classroom.
In this profoundly hopeful, thought-provoking, and inspiring book, Burger takes us into Elie Wiesel\'s classroom, where the art of listening and storytelling conspire to keep memory alive.
Witness chronicles the intimate conversations between these two men over decades, as Burger sought counsel on matters of intellect, spirituality, and faith, while navigating his own personal journey from boyhood to manhood, from student and assistant to rabbi and, in time, teacher.
They studied together and taught together.
Ariel Burger first met Elie Wiesel at age fifteen.
He passed away in July 2016. -- Parker Palmer, best-selling author of The Courage to Teach The world remembers Elie Wiesel--Nobel laureate, activist, and author of more than forty books, including Oprah\'s Book Club selection Night-- as a great humanist.
A superb piece of writing. . .
Witness is beautiful, and important .
