Elie Wiesel: Universal Lessons of the Holocaust
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 апр 2008
- Elie Wiesel, recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace, was 15 when the Nazis deported him, along with his family, from their home in Transylvania to Auschwitz. Losing both his parents and younger sister in the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel has made it his lifelong goal to teach the world about the Holocaust. The prize-winning author of more than 40 works of fiction and nonfiction, he has tried to capture in his writings the vibrant Jewish world that had existed before the war in addition to its destruction in the Holocaust. Speaking at the opening of Yad Vashem's new Holocaust History Museum, Elie Wiesel focuses upon the universal lessons that emerge from the Holocaust and the obligation to carry these messages to the world.

Dear Professor Wiesel, I still recall your words as a living testament to you and my Dad, one of your liberators from Buchenwald. This speech made me cry as I see you and my Dad so often in my mind. Today I ask my students the same questions: but where is their rage? That is why I urge my students to ponder your words in your speech, The Perils of Indifference. I am happy to report that several colleagues are recommending the essential sources you have recommended to me. Love, Prof. Robt. Burns
I JUST WANNA GIVE THIS GUY A HUG EVERYTIME I SEE HIM
This man has seen alot. Eli we salute you.
weisel's 'nacht' is one of the greatest books ever written and a testament to man's lowest points, as well as his highest.
Thank you for posting this important speech!
amazing book....amazing man
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.
great speech man!
he is romanian....i love him !!!
No one knows, if or when genocide will stop. All these "religious" wars will never end. It's horrible though to know it will continue. Every religion thinks theirs is the only and correct religion and until the entire world is of ONE religion, it will never end. It's been going on for 7,000 years, why would anyone think it will end regardless of all the Mandelas and Weisels in the world.
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
@abby0campbell It's not only the jewish people that are discriminated against. You can have a white skin, and just because your accent is different, you are discriminated against, this makes you different in some peoples eyes.
@randy109 i understand your viewpoint; however, christians weren't singled out and intentionally slaughtered. judaism was a minority religion, which explains why the number of murdered jews is smaller.
YES

The only reason I myself am Palestinian sympathetic is because for the past three thousand years Jerusalem has been a meeting and fighting point for three faiths, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. I think it should have been easily percievable that if someone should take the price spot, the Jewel of religions, and prevent more than half the population living outside of the military checkpoints from visiting their mosque, or their church.
what ?!
how can u even say that ???
god ! what we doing to palestinias ???????
@MrMrjmen123 OMG!!
