About
The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity is an international foundation founded in 1986 by Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel and his wife Marion Wiesel using his Nobel Prize money. It combats indifference, intolerance, and injustice by sparking ethical consciousness on human rights through programs that promote moral leadership, deliver real-world outcomes for victims of injustice, host international conferences and forums for discussing urgent ethical issues, and support youth-focused initiatives. The foundation is now led by their son, Elisha Wiesel, continuing Wiesel's humanitarian legacy.
