Witness : lessons from Elie Wiesel's classroom
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references.

"[Elie Wiesel] taught at Boston University for nearly four decades, and with this book, Ariel Burger -- devoted protégé, apprentice, and friend -- takes us into the sacred space of Wiesel's classroom. There, Wiesel challenged his students to explore moral complexity and to resist the dangerous lure of absolutes. In bringing together never-before-recounted moments between Wiesel and his students, Witness serves as a moral education in and of itself -- a primer on educating against indifference, on the urgency of memory and individual responsibility, and on the role of literature, music, and art in making the world a more compassionate place."--Dust jacket flap.
