Never Fail to Protest-
The Legacy of Elie Wiesel
Author, teacher, and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel earned the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 for his willingness to speak out against injustice. When Wiesel died on July 2, 2016, President Obama called him "the conscience of the world." What is the state of Wiesel's legacy more than three years after his death? John Deppen, a lifelong admirer of Wiesel, addresses this important question.
John is a former nonprofit executive and interagency consultant with an educational background in military history and conflict studies. He is the author of more than five hundred newspaper and magazine articles, and the recipient of numerous awards, including the American Legion Americanism and Oratory Medals, the Daughters of the American Revolution Community Service Award, and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Citizen of the Year Award.
John studied the Holocaust formally as a student at Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania with Dr. Klaus Kipphan, and informally as a history enthusiast for many years.
