“Ultimately, I mean, I see that too. I see this show. I see this network as an offering. I see that's why ask the question, what is the offering you've given to your students? I see that our role in humanity as each individual is to give an offering. Each other.”

“He could do that. You say at the end of the book, open heart, it might seem that I am not the man I was before june sixteenth, twenty eleven, but on a level close to the absolute that are life and death, I have remained the same. What is different is that I now know that every moment is a new beginning. Every handshake of promise. I know that every quest implicates the other, just as every word can become prayer. If life is not a celebration, why remember it? If life mine or that of my fellow man is not an offering to the other, what are we doing on this earth? That's just the most beautiful”

I mean, I just, that's an unbelievable call to get.”

“So that will be with me for the rest of my life. Think higher. That would be with me for the rest of my life. And I know so many of you too. Really got that on the level that you've offered it.

“Yeah, yeah. So let me read from page seventy two I belong to a generation that has often felt abandoned by God and betrayed by mankind, and yet I believe that we must not give up on either. We must choose between the violence of adults and the smiles of children. Between the ugliness of hate and the will to oppose it, between inflicting suffering and humiliation on our fellow man and offering him the solidarity and hope he deserves or not. I know I speak from experience that even in darkness it is possible to create light and encourage compassion. There it is, I still believe in man in spite of man. That is so beautiful.”

“Well, you say on page 34 many texts describe the beyond. Few take place in paradise, most unfold in hell. Am I, in fact, already on the other side? If not, would I have been permitted a glimpse into the beyond? I'm lying on my hospital bed, but it is hell. My skin is ripping apart, my entire body is aflame. I see myself in hell. Rule by cruel, pitiless angels, my head filled with medieval descriptions of unimaginable punishments. I think, I know, I do know what takes place in these dreadful abysses. Now, I read this and I think if LA Bizel... Ends up in hell, then I don't have a chance”

“That makes me every time I see that story or read that story makes me want to cry because both of you are starving and each saying, I'm not hungry, you take it.

“I love, I'm going to read from page 21, page 21 here, where you say, suddenly I realize that I'm in the hands of the surgeon and must face the truth when I fall asleep. It may well be. forever. Am I afraid to die? In the past, whenever I thought of death, I was not frightened. Hadn't I live with death even in death? I love that sentence. Hadn't I lived with death even in death? Because that's what Auschwitz was. That was my biggest realization. I remember standing there on the snowy grounds and thinking this was a death machine. It was a factory that produced death. That death was a business. Death was a business. So you had lived in death. Why should I be afraid now? Were you afraid?”

“Was She was seven when you went to the camp. I know. I remember walking the grounds with you and standing there, the two of us standing there and looking at the way your sister had gone. Why do you think it is speaking of her that still brings the tears because of a life Unlived?”

“I'm going to get to that more of that in a moment because when I read this powerful little book, Open Heart, I couldn't believe that you were still questioning that. But when we were in Poland, I remember you said that the souls who perished at Auschwitz were still there, that they listened.”

“has been translated into thirty languages, has been read by millions of people. In two thousand six I chose it for my book club, and I had the privilege of visiting Auschwitz with Ellie Visell as my guide. In twenty eleven, Elie Viselle was rushed into emergency open heart surgery.

So, may I say what an honor it is to have you here, my hero, my friend, after surviving open heart surgery last year. How are you feeling?”

“Friend is not a word I use loosely, I'm proud to call Elie Visell a friend for the past decade. He was born in nineteen twenty eight in Sagette, Transylvania, now a part of Romania. One of four children he had two older sisters, Hilda and Beatrice, and one younger named Zapora. In nineteen forty four, Ellie was fifteen when the Nazis deported him and his family to Auschwitz. By the time the camps were liberated by the Allied troops less than a year later, his mother, father, and youngest sister had all perished. After the war, Ellie embarked on a new life in Paris and became a journalist. It wasn't until he turned thirty that he decided to break his silence about his experiences during the war in a book called Night. Since its publication in nineteen fifty eight, Night”
