“Wiesel was a voice for victims and survivors of the Holocaust and fought for human rights at every opportunity” US Postal Service stated
(Sept. 2, 2025 / JNS) The U.S. Postal Service is set to honor Jewish writer, activist, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel with a ceremony to unveil a new stamp commemorating his life.
“Wiesel was a voice for victims and survivors of the Holocaust and fought for human rights at every opportunity,” the USPS stated. “His resilience and compassion, and his remarkable body of work, ensure that future generations will never forget one of the darkest chapters in human history.”
The first-day-of-issue event will take place on Sept. 17 at the Kaufmann Concert Hall in New York City. Admission is free, though attendees are encouraged to register online.
