Wiesel emphasizes the importance of memory to peace, humanity, and justice. This includes our own memories, the memories others share, and memories expressed in history and literature that contribute to our shared cultural heritage.
Choose a story that is relevant to you. It might be something from your own past, from someone elses, or a story that is part of a broader religious or cultural heritage. Reflect on why this story is significant. What meaning does it have for you? How could this story, if shared with others, do some of the work of memory that Wiesel describes? How could it encourage us to respond with peace and compassion to others?
