Elie Wiesel, who made Holocaust education his mission in life after surviving the Auschwitz and Buchenwald death camps, died Saturday, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Nobel Peace Prize winner and author of Night was 87.

"The Jewish people and the world lost a larger than life individual," former Israeli president Shimon Peres said on Twitter. His successor, Reuven Rivlin, echoed those sentiments, writing, "Tonight, we bid farewell to a hero of the Jewish people, and a giant of all humanity."

What a great man, may he rest in peace.

RIP E.W.

He was a courageous man doing good work and a tragedy that a courageous man had to spend his life doing this good work to counter what remains ugly in this world.

One of the greatest men in 70 years, but he will only get 10 seconds on CNN, FauxNews et al. But Trump....well its Trump 24/7

I would encourage people to read "Night." It's 120 pages, and will deeply impact you.

Exactly my thought on this also. This man has been to hell and back. RIP, you have done your time.
