First edition of Judge Marvin Frankelâs account of the modern struggle for international human rights, inscribed by him to Elie Wiesel. Octavo, original half cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, âFor Elie Wiesel, a token from student and follower to a wondrous teacher and leader. With deep respect and affection. Marvin.â The recipient, Elie Wiesel, was a Romanian-born Jewish-American writer, professor, political activist, and Nobel laureate whose life and work were defined by his experience as a survivor of the Holocaust and his lifelong commitment to ensuring that the crimes of the Nazi era would never be forgotten or minimized. Deported to Auschwitz in 1944 at the age of fifteen and subsequently transferred to Buchenwald, where he was liberated by American forces in April 1945, Wiesel emerged from the camps as one of the twentieth centuryâs most essential moral witnesses, a role he would occupy for the remaining seven decades of his life.

Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, Wiesel was described by the Nobel Committee as a messenger to mankind and a human being dedicated to humanity, and he received the United States Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Frankel brings to the subject both the precision of a judge and the conviction of an advocate who believed that law could be made to serve conscience.…
