Elisha Wiesel, the son of Elie Wiesel, calls for the return of the book 'Night' to classrooms and why proper education of Israel and the Holocaust era can help fight antisemitism.
As antisemitism grows in the United States, the son of a Holocaust survivor is emphasizing the importance of teaching young people about the horrors of what happened to Jews at the hands of the Nazis. Elisha Wiesel joined 'American's Newsroom,' Monday, to discuss the need to bring back the book 'Night', written by his father Elie Wiesel, to classrooms and how proper education can help fight antisemitism.
He then directed a message to school districts that may have removed the book from its required reading lists. 'This is the moment to pause, take a deep breath and say, ‘Why did we do that?’ Let's put ‘Night’ back into the curriculum, because the messages are key. But I want students to study not only my father's words in 'Night.' I want them to study his actions. He stood by Israel.
