Open Heart | Elie Wiesel
post image
Pickpick

Elie Wiesel describes his journey of unexpected open heart by pass surgery with honesty and eloquence. His words are spare but compelling; lyrical and wise. As always, he gifts to the world his “open heart“.

Amiable I just downloaded the audiobook, thanks to your posts about it ! 1w

1) tagged book
2) A Time for Defiance - too much military/fighting WWII & rather pathetic sister left behind in England. Probably others but this was a recent DNF

Music to soothe the soul. Song is more incorruptible than love. Songs endure & pass through generations while love can be transient.

We finished Night today at work.Planning to have the students watch the movie The Book Thief to wind down to our spring break, which begins on Friday. Witness is a perfect complement to Night.

Wow this was unforgettable. Feels like similar stories have been told but this one was so compelling. Couldn‘t put it down.

The language of stories. I am reading Witness along side our class reading of Night.

TheBookHippie I have all his books. They‘re just so so powerful. Especially now. 4mo
BooksandCoffee4Me Have your students read Refugee, the three stories of refugees from different time periods and places - Germany, Cuba, Syria - whose storer connect at the end? My ninth-graders got into tracking the journeys and doing a variety of art pieces related to the characters. Discussions in small groups were fairly natural and not coerced, always a plus. 4mo
