 | Elie Wiesel & the Politics of Moral Leadership by Mark Chmiel
In this study of Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, a theology professor acknowledges Wiesel's unique place as witness to the Holocaust and key moral voice of the 20th century. He addresses the criticism of some that Wiesel has been curiously silent on the sufferings of non-Jews, and in particular the Palestinians. And he examines the record of Wiesel's relationship with the U.S. government. Etzioni sees Wiesel as a moralist whose effect comes not from overt political action but from his moral stance.
