The Mensch International Foundation wishes to honor fond the memory of Elie Wiesel today which would have been his 90th Birthday.

His loss is not only a personal loss to his wife and son but a profound loss to the world. It is especially a loss to all Holocaust survivors and their children.

Elie Wiesel, prisoner no. H-7713, was the conscience of the world ever since he first put pen to paper as he described the personal trauma of a 15-year-old Holocaust survivor left without parents.

In honoring him I honor my own father who survived Mauthausen but lost his parents and only two siblings in the gas chambers of Auschwitz.

All educators about the horrors of the Holocaust are forever indebted to Elie Wiesel.

The Mensch International Foundation is pleased to announce the bestowing of the Mensch Award posthumously to Elie Wiesel. The awarding shall take place in Jerusalem in 2019.
