Feb 19, 1967
Professor Wiesel reads from several essays, from his novel, The Town Beyond the Wall, and, in the original French, from the 1966 book describing the plight of Soviet Jews, entitled Les juifs du silence [The Jews of Silence]. The essays include his meeting with the Vizhnitzer Rebbe after 22 years as well as a tribute to his town and his teachers. He highlights a number of his key concepts: legend, storytelling, madness and silence. He begins the lecture by declaring “I am a Hasid”; he ends it with the silence, too, “belongs to the tale.”
