Elisha Wiesel, the only son of Elie Wiesel, talked to Karen Pollock CBE, chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust.
In this intimate conversation, Elisha Wiesel offered his candid and timely reflections on his father’s writings about the long shadow of the Shoah, the creation of the state of Israel, and his unwavering belief in the resilience of the Jewish spirit.
He also shared his thoughts on the current challenges facing the Jewish People in the shadow of the largest single massacre of Jews since the Shoah, which took place on October 7 in Israel, and the subsequent shocking rise in antisemitism in the UK and across the world.
