We must be involved.  I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nAmong his numerous awards, Wiesel received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree and spoke at the University&#8217;s Commencement ceremonies in May 1997.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nFor more information, please contact Hillel at 401-874-2740 or Hillel@uri.hillel.org.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KINGSTON, R.I. &#8212; April 7, 2006 &#8212; Hillel at the 溏心vlog免费B站 will hold a campus-wide commemoration in honor of Yom HaShoah\u2014Holocaust Memorial Day on Tuesday, April 25 at 3:30 p.m. in front of the Multicultural Center, 64 Lower College Road on the Kingston Campus.
