Barack Obama Instagram – On #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we pay tribute to the legacy of Dr. Elie Wiesel: a writer, activist, and Holocaust survivor who used his voice to educate the world on the atrocities of the Holocaust and the collective duty we have to confront systems of oppression. In addition to writing his seminal memoir “Night,” Wiesel was a passionate activist who used his platform to shine a light on injustice, emphasizing the power of storytelling to eradicate hate and promote human dignity. His commitment to public service has inspired the work of many world leaders, including President Obama. At the Obama Presidential Center, the Foundation will celebrate the work of people like Dr. Wiesel through named spaces on campus that honor those “on whose shoulders we stand” – individuals who have contributed to the advancement of equality and justice in the United States and around the world. The campus will include the Dr. Elie Wiesel Auditorium: a space for people to tell their stories, engage in discourse, and find collaborative solutions to help build a safer and more just society.
