Today we are talking with Ariel Burger – author of the book Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel’s Classroom. Ariel is a writer, an artist, and teacher whose work integrates education, spirituality, the arts and strategies for social change. He was a lifelong student of Elie Wiesel, the esteemed Nobel Peace Prize Winner who most famously authored the memoir Night. In this conversation, Ariel and Rachael talk about the integration of creativity into stories from the past, about memory as an educational tool, and the difference of engaging in our world as a witness versus a spectator.
