That a stranger, a Nobel Prize winner and a persecuted victim of genocide would make me feel so supported speaks volumes about who Dr. Wiesel was.<\/p>\n
At the end of our class, when we were able to have our books signed, he signed a copy to Nick, Nick\u2019s father and two of my other relatives. Dr. Wiesel asked me why I didn\u2019t want one signed for myself, and I told him, \u201cI will never forget you.\u201d<\/p>\n
He replied, \u201cAnd I, you.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was such a warm exchange of humanity, so simple and humbling, that it has inspired me to think deeply and feel earnestly about the relationships I have in my life.<\/p>\n
I will always appreciate the opportunity I had to meet him and learn from him.<\/p>\n
