Too bad I cant go - Seeing Lewis, Kerry, and Patrick would be great'

U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., will participate in the march, which is a rain-or-shine event and will go from the First Church of Roxbury to the Boston Common, stepping off at 2 p.m.

The march re-enactment was coordinated by Ron Bell of Dunk the Vote.

Lewis is expected to be a featured speaker, as well as U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Deval Patrick, a gubernatorial candidate and former U.S. deputy attorney general in the Civil Rights Division

Did I miss anything?

1. Whome and I are trying to get it together

to go Sunday. (I love walking around in the fall anyway. I just hoping for good weather.) Anyone else, (even jlurkers, just PM.) This sounds like a really wonderful event and I'm really looking forward to it.

2. I think the Senator and Mrs. Kerry will be in Boston on Nov 6th

for the New England Holocaust Memorial Dinner. (Quite a bit pricier than his own Birthday party on Dec 11th, btw. check this out.) This should be a 'black tie' affair and those generate nice pics.

Location: Fairmont Copley Plaza

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is pleased to hold its first annual dinner in New England where we will honor Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson. Sheldon, a native Bostonian, is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Las Vegas Sands Corporation and a member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council. Dr. Miriam Adelson is a physician and research pioneer in the treatment of drug addiction. The Adelsons are key members of the Museum’s Pillars of Memory Society, a group that recognizes its major benefactors. We are proud to be able to honor the Adelsons, who have done so much for the Museum and the Jewish community. Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel will be the featured speaker. The cost of the dinner is $500 per person.

3. Elie Wiesel

That should be interesting. Have you ever heard him speak?
Can anyone recommend one of his books? I have read 'The Forgotten' and 'Night'. Powerful stuff. I'd like to read more.

[Mass]

4. Here is a list that I think is nearly exhaustive

http://xroads.virginia.edu/~CAP/HOLO/ELIEBIB.HTM

Those that I read

All Rivers Run to the Sea -- Memoirs. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 1995. (autobiography of his childhood and youth)

The Testament. Trans. Marion Wiesel. New York: Summit Books, 1981.

The forgotten.

All great stuff, difficult to read.

5. Thank you.

I have a short flight this afternoon, and am going to re-read 'Night'.
I will try the other two you recommend. I agree, tough to read, but important.

6. Also read

Primo Levi. Wonderful writer and an astute observer of the human condition.
