Wiesel tickets going quickly

This is the week to pick up free tickets to the April 26 Elie Wiesel visit. 

Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Holocaust survivor and author (Night and 50 other books) last visited Chapman five years ago for a sold-out lecture and the dedication of the Sala and Aron Samueli Holocaust Memorial Library.  He returns here on April 26 for a 10 a.m. talk in Memorial Hall, which is open only to Chapman students, faculty and staff.  This is a very special and rare opportunity to hear one of the most significant figures of our time.  The event will open with a screening of the short film “Boys from Buchenwald,” about the young survivors of the Buchenwald concentration camp (a group that included Wiesel).  Then Professor Wiesel will give his talk, “Reflections on Memory and Hope.”  Tickets are FREE with ID, but you must pick up your ticket in advance, and supplies are limited.  You can pick up your ticket (one ticket per ID) at the Sala and Aron Samueli Holocaust Memorial Library on the fourth floor of the Leatherby Libraries, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today through Friday, April 9, or while they last.
