Elie Wiesel is so eloquent, so brilliant, almost poetic. His greatest fear: People heard the message, yet nothing changed. Let us always be mindful of his message so that it can change our hearts for the better. The world is a better place because of Elie Wiesel.

Any act of genocide is sad. But just Elie Wiesel didn't mention those too doesn't mean he doesn't care that they happened or are happening. But this is part of our history. And to say that it was insignifigant is to say that all those who died in the Holocaust and all other genocides were too.

What a brilliant orator and a brilliant speech.

The cruelties were started by the Romans who placed the "Palestinians' into the land of Israel and to call it Palestine. The cruelties by the Palestinians is to refuse the right of Israel to exist and to occupy the land that does NOT belong to them. The ancient Romans were the one of enormous greed and expressed hatred for the Jewish people. Paul was not just the only one.

He spoke about the Palestinian issue in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech. For a fair bit, if I remember correctly.

To holodenier:i read that page and i see where you're coming from but you completely misinterpreted what it meant. in my opinion, elie and his father were contemplating on whether or not to believe that the russians were coming that time, considering that fact that they hadn't every other time. they evacuated with everyone else in fear of being left behind to starve to death. i would have gone, too, esp if the liberation hadn't come through after previous rumors. im sure elie regrets evacuating

Thank you. You are on of the only ones on these sites about the Holocaust that kept humanity in their comments. It is so nice to here some one who knows the facts on this instead of thoes who have learned from the back of a ceral box. If I am not mistaken, it sounds like you have humanity in you.

Every genocide is unique. Yet it is only the Jewish Holocaust that we hear about day after day, year after year. You don't see an agenda here?

What about rage over the magnitude of cruelty against the Palestinians? Seems completely absent in Mr. Wiesel.

mmm... they were killed because they were Jews? What about the Roma, the 'mentally defective', the communists, etc? |
