Elie Wiesel

Professor & Political Activist –  Nobel Peace Prize Recipient

“I have tried to keep memory alive; I have tried to fight those who would forget. Because if we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices…. And that is why I swore to never be silent whenever wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.”

 Dedicated April 11, 2005 in recognition of the establishment of The Ralph and Sue Stern Chair in Holocaust Education. Located at Chapman University
