Mr. Wilf, the father of Vikings Owners Zygi and Mark Wilf, was the first North American President of the March of the Living. The 2017 march held on April 24 was named in honor of Joseph Wilf, who passed away in August of 2016 at the age of 91. Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, who participated in the first March of the Living in 1988, also was honored during the march. Wiesel, author of the well-known book Night, passed away in July of 2016.
“It’s very special to our entire family to have our father’s memory honored at the March of the Living,” Mark Wilf said.
