" Every Murder Is A Suicide" -​​-ELIE WIESEL


Penn State Professors are— with the leadership of Boaz Dvir—  producing a PBS documentary on unsung hero, Michel Cojot, narrated by Judd Nelson.

A preview of the film will be presented by the American Jewish Historical Society on  March 23, 2016 in New York City.

The documentary, which Dvir fashions as a “suspenseful character study,” will focus on two pivotal events in Cojot’s life.  

​One, after his lifelong obsession of hunting down ex-­Gestapo Commander, Klaus Barbie. Cojot has a clear shot and when he was about to pull the trigger, Goldberg relates that he was unable to kill Barbie for a number of complex psychological reasons, including a haunting quotation from Elie Wiesel that impeded his action: “Every murder is a suicide.”  

​The second tells the story of playing a pivotal role in one of history’s most daring and successful hostage-rescue operations.
