This World Refugee Day, Mandy Patinkin wrote a special letter to author, educator, political activist, -- and refugee-- Elie Wiesel.

From art to science, film and business, music and technology, refugees have been drivers of major cultural and societal achievements. Join Mandy and #StandWithRefugees. Visit Rescue.org/Welcome
