Hardcover. Condition: vg. First edition. Octavo. 250, [4]pp. Original pictorial wrappers over cloth spine and paper covered boards. Blind-stamped lettering on front cover and silver lettering on spine. Fly leaf signed by the author. Fascinating work being the moving testimony of a man who has worked to keep both past and present alive; one who has fused his innermost concerns with the good of all mankind. Elie Wiesel's memory is both a tribute to the dead, and an exhortation to the living. This work contains the author's powerful testimony at the trial of Klaus Barbie, "The Butcher of Lyon"; his impassioned plea to president Reagan not to visit Bitburg cemetery, where members of the S.S. were buried; and his address at the Reichstag, from the very rostrum where the annihilation of his own family and his entire people was decreed. Very minor soiling on wrappers. Wrappers in overall very good, binding and interior in fine condition.
