Elisha Wiesel is the only child of Holocaust survivor, professor, author, and Nobel Laureate, Elie Wiesel and Marion Wiesel. In this program, Elisha will reflect on the legacy passed onto him by his father, Elie Wiesel who is often referred to as "the witness for the 6-million murdered Jews." A successful American businessman, Elisha has organized fundraisers for Good Shepherd Services, an after-school program charity in Brooklyn, since 2013. He has spoken to the participants of the March of the Living at Auschwitz and also has spoken at many relevant venues including the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Museum of Jewish Heritage; and he frequently speaks out against various global human rights violations.
