TV worth watching.

I'm not an Oprah fan by any means, but her episode today, in which she visits the Auschwitz concentration camp with author and Nobel Prize-winner Elie Wiesel, was definitely something to see. I only caught the last half, but she kept her comments to a minimum and let him do most of the talking, describing his memories of the camp and explaining the horrifying origins of what can still be seen there. Having him walk her/us through the site is beyond words.

Oprah gets rerun on my local ABC syndicate, so probably in your area, too. It's well worth checking out.
