Utah senator Orrin Hatch remembered the late Elie Wiesel, the Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor, in a speech on the Senate floor this week. Wiesel died on Saturday at 87.
“With Elie’s passing, we have lost a beacon of humanity and hope. We have lost a hero of human rights and a luminary of Holocaust literature,” Hatch said. “Now that Elie is gone, we must remember, now more than ever, his solemn charge to all mankind: Never forget. Never forget the Holocaust that it may never happen again.”
