Wiesel will participate in the graduation ceremony on Friday, May 7, at the Jack Breslin Student Events Center. Wiesel, whose personal experience of the Holocaust has led him to espouse the cause of human rights and defend peace throughout the world, will address undergraduates at the campuswide convocation at 1 p.m. "Elie Wiesel, through his work, immense insight and unbelievable life experiences, is one of this century's true guiding lights," said MSU President Peter McPherson. "It is a tremendous honor, one that speaks highly of this university, to have Wiesel as our undergraduate convocation speaker." Wiesel has a long history of working toward peace. A devoted supporter of Israel, Wiesel has also defended the cause of Soviet Jews, Nicaragua's Miskito Indians, Argentina's "disappeared," Cambodian refugees, the Kurds, South African apartheid victims, famine victims in Africa, and more recently, the victims and prisoners in the former Yugoslavia.

Extractions: by Robert Faurisson On February 7, 1996, Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and professor at Boston University, was awarded an honorary doctorate by Jules Verne University at Picardy, France. Reporting on the speech delivered by Wiesel on that occasion, the local newspaper (Le Courrier Picard, Feb. 9, 1996) informed readers: One question the public was anxious be answered: "And what do you make of the emergence of revisionist and Holocaust denying tendencies?" Wiesel responded: "Those are [the work of] virulent and vicious anti-Semites, organized and well-financed. On the day I received the Nobel Prize there were hundreds in the street demonstrating against me. Never will I afford them the dignity of a debate. These are morally sick individuals. While I am able to fight against injustice, I have no idea how to go about fighting against ugliness." Here one can see Elie Wiesel's typical phraseology, but his statement that "on the day I received the Nobel Prize there were hundreds in the street demonstrating against me" is something new, and constitutes yet one more lie by this "prominent false witness," as I have called him, or "Shoah merchant" as Pierre Vidal-Naquet (in an interview with M. Folco, in Zéro, April 1987, p. 57) has called him. As someone who was present in Oslo at the site of the award ceremony in December 1986, I am able to report that the number of protesters there was precisely zero. Three persons did show up to distribute a leaflet, printed in both Swedish and English, entitled "Elie Wiesel: A Prominent False Witness" [also available as an IHR leaflet]. All three of these persons were Frenchmen: Pierre Guillaume, Serge Thion and myself.

Extractions: By Robert Faurisson ELIE WIESEL won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. He is generally accepted as a witness to the Jewish "Holocaust," and, more specifically, as a witness to the legendary Nazi extermination gas chambers. The Paris daily Le Monde emphasized at the time that Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Prize because: ( note 1 These last years have seen, in the name of so-called "historical revisionism," the elaboration of theses, especially in France, questioning the existence of the Nazi gas chambers and, perhaps beyond that, of the genocide of the Jews itself. But in what respect is Elie Wiesel a witness to the alleged gas chambers? By what right does he ask us to believe in that means of extermination? In an autobiographical book that supposedly describes his experiences at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, he nowhere mentions the gas chambers. ( note 2 ) He does indeed say that the Germans executed Jews, but ... by fire; by throwing them alive into flaming ditches, before the very eyes of the deportees! No less than that! Here Wiesel the false witness had some bad luck. Forced to choose from among several Allied war propaganda lies, he chose to defend the fire lie instead of the boiling water, gassing, or electrocution lies. In 1956, when he published his testimony in Yiddish, the fire lie was still alive in certain circles. This lie is the origin of the term Holocaust. Today there is no longer a single historian who believes that Jews were burned alive. The myths of the boiling water and of electrocution have also disappeared. Only the gas remains.

While his two older sisters and his father survived Auschwitz, his mother and younger sister perished. Wiesel and his father were later transported to another camp, Buchenwald, where his father died. Three months after Wiesel received the Nobel Peace Prize, he and his wife established The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity. Its mission is to advance the cause of human rights and peace throughout the world by creating a new forum for the discussion of urgent ethical issues confronting humanity. An American citizen since 1963, Elie Wiesel lives in New York with his wife and son. This event is sponsored by Alan L.

Extractions: Elie Wiesel (born 1928) Elie Wiesel was born on September 30, 1928 in Sighet, a small town in Rumania. His grandfather told the young Elie Hasidic tales, which later inspired Wiesel's writings. In 1944, the Nazis deported all of Sighet's 15,000 Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Wiesel's mother and younger sister died in the gas chambers, and his father died later on a forced march to Buchenwald. In 1957, Wiesel joined the staff of the Jewish Daily Forward, a Yiddish-language newspaper in New York; he became a United States citizen in 1963. Not until 10 years after his release from Buchenwald, did Elie Wiesel begin writing about the Holocaust. His first biographical book "And the World Remained Silent" appeared in Yiddish, and four years later it was published in English as the novel "Night." This was followed by over two dozen semi-autobiographical novels, plays and essays, all bearing witness to the Holocaust.

Extractions: Elie Wiesel tells his own story at last By Dan Pulcrano A FTER COINING the term Holocaust, writing 30 books and winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Elie Wiesel has finally gotten around to penning his memoirs. Wiesel makes it clear right away that All Rivers Run to the Sea (Knopf) is not an autobiography. He calls it "not the story of my life, but my stories," which is refreshing, for Wiesel is nothing if not a storyteller in the great Hasidic tradition. His childhood stories glow with the warmth of shtetl lifeof melon merchants and mystical bearded rabbisa world that came to an abrupt and tragic end and left Wiesel as the preeminent chronicler of its demise. In a world of fulsome authors and celebrities, it would be too easy to dismiss Wiesel's description of himself as a reluctant autobiographee as little more than glib false modesty. But Wiesel understands the random franchise of human life too well to rest on his laureate. His work is humbled by the knowledge that it could have just as easily been he who succumbed to the power of evil at Buchenwald, instead of bearing witness to his father's waning moments there. "I was ready to die in his place," Wiesel recalls, and acknowledges some ambivalence about the stellar career that grew out of that defining event. Wiesel remained true to character even after winning the Nobel Prize. During a visit eight years ago to this area, he described for reporters how winning the Nobel had changed his life: "The difference in my life is I have a secretary. It came, maybe, in my life too late for me to change. I go on teaching exactly the same way. I hardly miss a class. I try to talk less because it's time consuming. The only difference, I think, is that people occasionally listen."

Extractions: Hope, Despair and Memory Excerpts from Elie Wiesel's Nobel Prize Lecture Without memory, our existence would be barren and opaque, like a prison cell into which no light penetrates; like a tomb which rejects the living. If anything can, it is memory that will save humanity. For me, hope without memory is like memory without hope... Stripped of possessions, all human ties severed, the prisoners found themselves in a social and cultural void. "Forget," they were told. "Forget where you came from; forget who you were. Only the present matters." Night after night, seemingly endless processions vanished into the flames, lighting up the sky. Fear dominated the universe. Indeed this was another universe; the very laws of nature had been transformed. Children looked like old men, old men whimpered like children. Men and women from every corner of Europe were suddenly reduced to nameless and faceless creatures desperate for the same ration of bread or soup, dreading the same end. Even their silence was the same for it resounded with the memory of those who were gone. Life in this accursed universe was so distorted, so unnatural that a new species had evolved. Waking among the dead, one wondered if one were still alive... Of course, we could try to forget the past. Why not? Is it not natural for a human being to repress what causes him pain, what causes him shame? Like the body, memory protects its wounds. When day breaks after a sleepless night, one's ghosts must withdraw; the dead are ordered back to their graves. But for the first time in history, we could not bury our dead. We bear their graves within ourselves.

http://www.tikkun.org/magazine/index.cfm/action/tikkun/issue/tik0211/article/021

Extractions: Yet, throughout this illustrious career, Wiesel has been plagued by one controversy, a controversy as to how his apothegms against silence and his philosophy of witness apply to what Edward Said has called "the ethical dimensions of the Palestinian issue." Jews as various as Noam Chomsky, Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, and Israeli journalist Matti Golan have been critical of Wiesel's position on Israel and the Palestinians. How has the Nobel-Laureate and advocate of remembrance addressed the question of Palestine? The Innocent Occupation Still, Wiesel expressed hope in future reconciliation between the Jews and Arabs. He conceived that this was the true vision of Israel, but, regrettably, felt extremists influenced Arab leaders. Such leaders did "not take the hand extended them, and therein lies the tragedy." Wiesel did not remark to Mauriac that shortly after Israel began its occupation, plans went through for Jewish settlements on occupied Palestinian lands; Palestinians were also the victims of Israeli collective punishment and deportation, which violated international law. Thus, 1967 witnessed Wiesel assuming the role of a mystic pacifist lauding the military triumph of an innocent, even passive, occupying power. Confronting the Suffering of the Palestinians Several years later, in 1979, Wiesel attempted to address the Palestinian movement for liberation in his letter "To a Young Palestinian Arab," published in
