The Cis Maisel Center for
Judaic Studies and Community
Engagement at Oakland
University will present “
A
Conversation with Howard
Reich” from 7-9 p.m. on
Wednesday, March
4, in Oakland
Center Founders
Ballroom A.
During the last
four years of his
life, Holocaust
survivor and
Nobel Peace Prize laureate
Elie Wiesel met with Reich
to discuss the subject that
linked them. Both Wiesel
and Robert Reich, Howard’
s
father, were liberated from
the Buchenwald death camp
on April 11, 1945. The friend-
ship that developed between
Howard and Wiesel became a
partnership. Their conversa-
tions about the Holocaust and
its consequences became the
basis for Howard’
s book, The
Art of Inventing Hope: Intimate
Conversations with Elie Wiesel.
“We wanted to bring Mr.
Reich to campus to tell the
story of his own family’
s
journey and his relationship
to one of the most import-
ant Holocaust scholars, Elie
Wiesel. His message is as
important now as in any other
time,” said Dr. Michael Pytlik,
director of the Cis Maisel
Center.
“Many students are not
receiving education in the
Holocaust, and there are fewer
and fewer survivors to tell the
story. As a son of survivors,
Mr. Reich brings an important
perspective on the Holocaust,
and his discussions with Elie
Wiesel are crucial for a way
forward with teaching the
Holocaust,” Pytlik added.
Copies of the book will be
available for purchase, and a
book signing will follow the
presentation. Light refresh-
ments will also be served.
The event is sponsored by the
Holocaust Memorial Center
and the Jewish Community
Center. To register, visit oak-
land.edu/religiousstudies/
