Listening to Elie Wiesel: A Day of Reflection & Action
A Global Day of Reflection & Action | July 2, 2025
On July 2, 2025, The Florida Holocaust Museum launches the inaugural celebration of Listening to Elie Wiesel: A Global Day of Reflection & Action—a new annual tradition honoring the enduring legacy of one of the world’s most powerful moral voices.
Professor Elie Wiesel was a Holocaust survivor, Nobel Laureate, and fierce advocate for memory, justice, and the Jewish people. But this is not a day for quiet remembrance. It is a call to listen, reflect, and act.
We still have his voice.
Now, it’s time the world listens.
Listening to Elie Wiesel: A Global Day of Reflection & Action is a global invitation to engage with Elie Wiesel’s moral and intellectual legacy—not just as a remembrance, but as a movement. This first-of-its-kind observance encourages individuals, institutions, classrooms, and communities to:
Read his works

Act with moral courage

Why Now?
If Elie Wiesel were here today, he would not be silent in the face of rising antisemitism and Holocaust distortion. He would speak clearly and courageously—as he always did—against bigotry, apathy, and the falsification of history.

In early 2024, The FHM was chosen by the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity as the home to Elie Wiesel’s personal collection, which includes his Nobel Prize, manuscripts, correspondence, artwork, and recordings. This future exhibit and international traveling exhibition will highlight Wiesel’s impact as a professor, humanitarian, and literary giant, while also shining a light on the contributions of Marion Wiesel, Holocaust survivor, humanitarian, and translator whose dedication helped shape and share his work with the world.
