Watch a video about the life of Elie Wiesel
The author and humanitarian is featured on the latest stamp in the Distinguished Americans series
The Postal Service has released a video about its Elie Wiesel stamp, the 18th release in the Distinguished Americans series.
The Holocaust survivor, author and Nobel Peace Prize recipient was a voice for victims and survivors of that event, and a human rights advocate.
The 3-minute video features Ronald Stroman, a member of the USPS Board of Governors, who narrates the video.
“He understood that silence in the face of injustice helps the oppressor — never the oppressed,” Stroman says in the video.
