All of this cannot last any longer, new medias totally independant from old ones and from any power, whether political or financial, must arise in order to protect and even reestablish truth wherever it has been silenced

Fiercely independent, Moment is not tied to any organization, denomination or point of view and offers a balanced accounting of the Jewish experience in America
Even free speech is of secondary importance to the preservation of self-government by an informed electorate because no despotism is going to allow speech that endangers it. As a WWII veteran whose online acquaintance I made back in the late 1990s and who was a fighter pilot in Europe, later saw first hand some of the Nazi camps, in particular Dachau, and later became an opponent of online Holocaust denial, would say: Bingo!

We thought it would be enough to read the world a poem written by a child in the Theresienstadt ghetto to ensure that no child anywhere would ever again have to endure hunger or fear
Elie Wiesel's Night Study Guide
Why was the camp being evacuated? The Russians were advancing Why did the prisoners want the Russians to arrive first? They would be liberated! Chapter 6: 1. What did Elie think of his theory? He did not believe that merciful God could allow so much suffering why the world kept silent to the horrors he witnessed
How can someone live a good life after experiencing tragedy and suffering? Elie Wiesel: In spite of what I have seen in my life, observed of the Jews, I agree with Albert Camus, whose work I always love to read and teach. "Nobody wants to hear these stories." Finally, a small publisher (who, by the way, was also Beckett's publisher, which means he had courage) published it
He travels the world in a somatose state of denial, paranoia and vengeance for the millions he sees in his minds eye, but this past blinders his vision to the realities of he present. Far from it; instead his ardent and uncritical support for the expansionist and oppressive Israeli right's program reflects - as he noted in his memoir - his very early role as a journalist working for Menachem Begin's newpaper
It has become a commonplace among AIDS activists to use a slogan equating silence with death; similarly, it is the very real fear of many Holocaust survivors that a failure to speak about what happened during the Holocaust could lead to a possible recurrence of the same evil. Wiesel seems to be suggesting that the events of the Holocaust prove that faith is a necessary element in human survival, because it preserves man, whether or not it is based in reality
Also, Jean-Noel Darde, a senior lecturer at Paris 8 University, who runs a website that specializes in academic plagiarizing, suggested that the Chief Rabbi might have also used fragments of other books, written well before the 1980s, by authors such as Elie Wiesel, Jean-Marie Domenach and Charles Dobzynski. But to what degree is Elie Wiesel the source of them? Who is running the show? Note: The information about Bernheim for this article came mostly from The New York Times and Worldcrunch.com

http://www.amazon.com/Night-Elie-Wiesel/dp/0374500010Why then would one want to read such accounts as these?

President and distinguished guests, these names and others were known to officials in Washington, and London, and Moscow, and Stockholm, and Geneva, and the Vatican. This impressive museum could not have been built without your understanding and generosity, for with the exception of Israel, our country is the only one who has seen fit to preserve the memory of the Holocaust and made it a national imperative to do so
At special occasions, one is duty-bound to recite the following prayer: "Barukh shehekhyanu vekiymanu vehigianu lazman haze" - "Blessed be Thou for having sustained us until this day." Then -- thank you, Chairman Aarvik, for the depth of your eloquence. There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for our attention: victims of hunger, of racism and political persecution - in Chile, for instance, or in Ethiopia - writers and poets, prisoners in so many lands governed by the Left and by the Right
And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor -- never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten.

Is it necessary at times to practice it simply to keep one's sanity, live normally, enjoy a fine meal and a glass of wine, as the world around us experiences harrowing upheavals? Of course, indifference can be tempting -- more than that, seductive

Whatever you have to lose has long since been taken away.'' The trial proceeded in due legal form, with witnesses for both sides with pleas and deliberations
