Tomorrow: On Hillary Clinton's Agenda
NEW
YORK – Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will present
the World Jewish Congress’ Theodor Herzl Award to the Nobel Peace
laureate and writer Elie Wiesel and his wife, Marion, a noted
humanitarian, at a dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York on
November 19, 2013.
“I can think of no more fitting couple for this
honor than Elie and Marion Wiesel, who have dedicated their lives to
promoting peace and understanding and the security of the Jewish people
and the State of Israel,” said WJC President Ronald S. Lauder. “The
Wiesels are a Jewish and world treasure who live and breathe Herzl’s
ideals. Their contribution to the understanding of the Holocaust and to
combatting intolerance and injustice worldwide is incalculable.”
A
special highlight of the award program will be the performance by
violinist Itzhak Perlman in commemoration of the 75th anniversary this
month of Kristallnacht, the Nazis’ 1938 national pogrom against the
Jews, known in English as the “Night of Broken Glass.”
