'Conscience of the world.'
That's how Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) is described.
An author, journalist, and scholar, Wiesel enlarged the world by fighting indifference and a sense that 'I am not my brother's keeper.'
He believed in the goodness of people despite the 6 million who perished in the Holocaust.
To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all, Wiesel pressed.
We all must step up to the plate now as America teeters while hatred abounds.
