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/
cis-maisel-center. For more
