All right, dylan, thank you very much. Tonight the world is mourning the death of one of the great humanitarians of our time. Elie wiesel survived the holocaust and later helped the world confront the horror and pain of that tragedy. He taught generations about not being silenced in the face of injustice. He was called a messenger to mankind, the survivor of the nazi extermination camps. Elie wiesel witnessed the worst of humanity and later dedicated himself to making the memory of the holocaust eternal and speaking out against inhumanity everywhere. Efforts that in 1986 earned him the nobel peace prize. We must speak. We must take sides. For neutrality helps the oppressor never the victim. Born in romania he was a teenager when he and his family were deported to auschwitz. His mother and younger sister were sent to the gas chambers and killed. This picture shows wiesel who was later taken to buchenwald where he watched his father starve to death. His camp was liberated by american troops in 1945. He first returned to auschwitz nearly 35 years later to confront his memory. I was literally taken from my books which speak of humanism and beauty and truth into the kingdom of hell. Until his death, wiesel taught about depair, warning about the perils of indifference and partnering with Many National leaders and celebrities to focus on injust and suffering like the victims of war in the former yugoslavia and the tragedy in darfur. No one has taught us more than elie wiesel. His life stands as a symbol. His life is testimony that the human spirit endurs and prevails. A passionate supporter of israel, wiesel wrote more than 50 books. His most famous night a haunting chronicle of his holocaust experiences. A traumatized generation that often felt abandoned by god and betrayed by mankind, and yet i believe that one must not estrange oneself from either god or man. He built the elie wiesel to foundation for humanity, even though the organization lost most its money to Bernie Madoffs ponzi scheme in 2008, he vowed to carry on his life work teaching new generations about a dark passage in history and imploring them to never forget. And one more moment in the life of wisconsin elie wiesel, at the white house he implored president reagan not to visit a German Military cemetery where nazi war dead are buried. Wiesel said, that place, mr. President , is not your place. Your place is with the victims of the ss. President reagan still went, but he added a visit to the bergenbelsen concentration camp. Elie wiesel dead tonight at the age of 87. Still ahead a program that encourages young people to keep the peace in your Car Insurance policy is 22 pages long. Did you read every word .

Are waiting for a responsive, credible, legitimate opportunity. Reporter 68 men have participated, 64 are still alive. And the number of murders has been dropping from 47 in 2007 to 21 in 2015. Boegen and his team keep their fellows anonymous even to the police, but its almost as controversial as it is effective bus what the program doesnt do is ask anyone to put down their guns. Instead, they offer up to 1,000 if fellows stay out of trouble and reach personal milestones. Did you do it for the money . No. I did it to help myself. Reporter former fellow Ronal Robinson spent his life in and out of prison before joining up. How did you feel like this program has influenced you . If it wasnt for the program, id probably still be running around the streets doing a whole bunch of stuff. Reporter boegen is now focused on helping other cities adopt the richmond model. It works.
