About this product
Product Information
The Art of Inventing Hope offers an unprecedented, in-depth conversation between the world's most revered Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel, and a son of survivors, Howard Reich. During the last four years of Wiesel's life, he met frequently with Reich in New York, Chicago and Florida--and spoke with him often on the phone--to discuss the subject that linked them: Reich's father, Robert Reich, and Wiesel were both liberated from the Buchenwald death camp on April 11, 1945. What had started as an interview assignment from the Chicago Tribune quickly evolved into a friendship and a partnership. Reich and Wiesel believed their colloquy represented a unique exchange between two generations deeply affected by a cataclysmic event. Wiesel said to Reich, "I've never done anything like this before," and after reading the final book, asked him not to change a word. Here Wiesel--at the end of his life--looks back on his ideas and writings on the Holocaust, synthesizing them in his conversations with Reich. The insights on life, ethics, and memory that Wiesel offers and Reich illuminates will not only help the children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors understand their painful inheritance, but will benefit everyone, young or old.

Reviews
"In his struggle to understand his parents' unimaginable and unspoken past, Howard Reich finds answers in these powerful conversations with Elie Wiesel....Reich's own poignant narrative is as compelling as the advice Wiesel offers, and in the end it is so satisfying to see how these two brilliant minds find solace through words and through love." --Mary Morris, author of Gateway to the Moon and The River Queen, "In Wiesel's words, 'To hear a witness is to become a witness.' Anyone who reads Reich's book will become a witness too." -- Chicago Tribune, "Reich does an admirable job of complementing his subject's sage words with his own perspective without in any way detracting or distracting from it--no easy task yet one the author accomplishes with aplomb." -- Kirkus Reviews "irreplaceable thoughts from a vanishing generation." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Wiesel's words through "The Art of Inventing Hope" might be viewed as coming from the grave. But as Reich presented him, he is living and breathing, and just as relevant now as when he spoke them into Reich's tape recorder." -- The Chicago Jewish News, "How does one survive the horrors of the Holocaust? Wiesel helps Reich to discover that in shared memory there is hope." --Sheila Nevins, television producer and author of You Don't Look Your Age...And Other Fairy Tales, "Howard Reich's father and Elie Wiesel shared the unforgettable experience of being liberated from a Nazi concentration camp on the same day in 1945. Bridging generations, this exceptionally thoughtful series of conversations gives the reader a deeper understanding of the meaning of the Holocaust." --Newton N. Minow, former chair of the Federal Communications Commission and author of Inside the Presidential Debates, "Howard Reich utilizes his considerable journalistic talents and unique perspective as a second-generation Holocaust survivor to elicit powerful insights from Elie Wiesel. This book will play an important role in making the Holocaust relevant to future generations." --Marion Blumenthal Lazan, coauthor of Four Perfect Pebbles, "The Art of Inventing Hope can help us remember, learn from, and perhaps argue with, the world's most revered Holocaust survivor and enlist him in living our lives."-- The Jerusalem Post Online, "A sobering and needful meditation on the enduring themes of remembrance and guilt, mercy and justice." -- Newcity Online, "Through his compelling, fascinating and poignant conversations with Elie Wiesel, Howard Reich shares his quest for a deeper understanding of the Holocaust and of the way mankind's darkest days shaped the lives of his survivor parents and ultimately his own. Reich does a masterful job of weaving his probing questions and the Nobel Laureate's insightful answers into a tapestry of Jewish identity and morality. This extremely personal and, at times, emotional book...makes clear that descendants, like Reich, of Holocaust survivors are now becoming the witnesses who carry the banner that declares one must never give up or give in to apathy and evil." --Allan Zullo, author of the Haunted Kids and Ten True Tales series, "Reich does an admirable job of complementing his subject's sage words with his own perspective without in any way detracting or distracting from it--no easy task yet one the author accomplishes with aplomb." -- Kirkus Reviews "Irreplaceable thoughts from a vanishing generation." -- Kirkus Reviews
