  7. Why a Holocaust center in the O.C.?

    If you were wondering, well, so was I: how is it that Elie Wiesel, the renowned Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Holocaust survivor and author, came to be an annual fixture on the campus at Orange County’s Chapman University, founded as a Protestant institution of the Disciples of Christ?

  10. Elie Wiesel, history's witness

    It was a fine April day last week that found Elie Wiesel at Chapman University; it was a fine April day too, 58 years earlier, when the gaunt, teenage Wiesel found himself alive and suddenly free to walk out of the Buchenwald concentration camp. In the decades since, Wiesel's impassioned writing and speaking have won him a Nobel Peace Prize, and a large place in the public intellectual discourse about the Holocaust and the human condition. They have also brought him to Chapman each spring for the last three years as a distinguished presidential fellow, meeting with students and faculty to keep the significance of the Holocaust green in their minds.

The occasion was a commemoration, sponsored by PEN American Center, of the 50th anniversary of Achebe’s first novel, “Things Fall Apart,” which opened the territory of African literature for many readers around the world.
