Others have tried, and it says a lot about the quality of my work that no one has been successful. I am almost ready to introduce a new article about it. Your first assertion is untrue, plus you fail to quote what you claim I wrote, or give a link to or even properly name the page s. You are wrong to say that I state that Auschwitz was not the only camp to do this [tattooing]; I never did. I have discussed the various forms of the name Eliezer here. Your speculation that "prisoners often lied about their age and name" [they more often lied about saying they lied and got away with it] is in no way a reason to believe the German officials could not tell the difference between a 15 year old and a 31 year old with a trade.
It is not believable! Therefore, people like you are dreaming, without even attempting to ascertain the facts or to use logic. In fact your exacts words are as follows. It was a decision by the camp authorities, not by the SS hierarchy or Adolf Hitler. It probaby came about because of the large number of inmates at Auschwitz-Birkenau-Monowitz and their tendency to give false names and trade places with one another.
Who would they have traded places with, and why? Please also remember that in Night and in the Yiddish And the world remained silent and also in his memoir, the Wiesel character gives his name as Eliezer Wiesel, and continues to use that name. He never uses the name Lazar. He may have changed his name to protect himself. And he may not wish to show his tatoo because it triggers bad memories, or he may have another reason for not wanting to show it but you have no proof of this.
You are just talking nonsense as girls like you keep on doing here. He has failed to do so. His feelings about it carry no weight at all. You know tattoo removal is possible. What if he now thinks, in retrospect, that having removed the tattoo is a bad idea because it removed the evidence and showing his bare army will only make holocaust deniers jump and rejoice in victory? Therefore he hides his arm. To Silver: If this is the best you can come up with … It makes Elie a liar, which of course we know he is, and stupid too.
What kind of a fool would remove the tattoo he had already written in a book that he had on his arm? Of course the book was fiction; it was intended as fiction at the time it was published, but after getting famous from it he started saying it was all true. And then there was the quest for a Nobel Prize. Anyway, it's not legitimate to put thoughts in Wiesel's head that he has never expressed himself or even hinted at.
It's lame and you are not earning your pay, Hasbara worker. But you are giving my readers a good laugh. In your article, you stated that their is no pictures of him, when there is one. Elie Wiesel is NOT in that photograph; that is a proven fact. Tattoos can easily fade over the course of many decades.
Even if he is not truly a survivor, his book "Night" has done wonders to teach people what went on in concentration camps. All you hear are tales of bravery and resistance and love from books about the Holocaust. These books betray the true horror of the Holocaust. Many of the survivors did not speak of what if actually felt like to be imprisoned in Auschwitz or Monowitz.
Wiesels' novel, real or not, accurately displays the anger and helplessness felt by the Jews in Germany and Poland and in other parts of Europe. Even if you are right and he is conning people, he still deserves that Nobel Peace Price.
Millions of youths from around the world have learned from "Night", and in order to mot repeat history, we must learn the history. If you haven't picked up what I've been saying in this essay, basically a you call him an idiot if he removed the tattoo because he wrote the books-he has his own feelings outside of proving he was at Auschwitz, and he may be triggered by the tattoo and the memories behind it, and b even if he has never set foot in Auschwitz, his book has still done wonders to educate people on the honest horror and devastation in the concentration camps, versus the stories of faith and love and selflessness of people who managed to avoid it.
And answer this question-if he was never in a concentration camp, how on earth was he able to depict them so accurately? Would there not be at least a scar if he had it removed?
I think your right, it has gone too far to admit he's a fake and risk backlash on all the good work that has come from his lies, or in the more probable case, risk the money they have made from his lies, i just pity the real Lazar, his disappearance needs to be investigated and the only way to initiate this is to get this fool proven fake. Its a disgrace to use the horror of another's ordeal to reap your own benefits. He should not be allowed go to the grave branded a survivor.
If there was a plausible excuse he would have disclosed by now! If he had it removed he would have explained why and shown his scar.
But then I also wonder why he did not get it tattooed on his arm to back up his story. Wouldn't that be the smart thing to do if your going to steal someone's past? I dunno, I feel like I want to believe him because it's too difficult to think someone could be so conniving!
Someone who's been through so much is bound to be more or less traumatized. You talk a hell lot about this person as if you know him. Since you're so bloody obsessed with this, why don't you try concentrating all your efforts in trying to meet him in Boston University instead? You're sounding quite like a hypocrite yourself. Get over — So this is your defense of Elie Wiesel's failure to show the tattoo he claims he has?
You are reduced to attacking the messenger? Your best argument is to tell me I have no right to question Mr. This is how the holohoax industry operates in all regards — "you have no right to question!
We do have a right, and I have asked all the right questions. But you are unable to answer a single one. Keep writing stuff like this and revealing your complete and total poverty. About trying to meet him in person, look what happened when Eric Hunt tried to talk to him.
He became frantic and started screaming. He is scared to death of coming face to face with someone who would really question him and not lie for him … as you do. Another great column. It is a crime against humanity.
Tattoos do not fade so completely as to disappear. They just get a little less vibrant. Lying Weasel was just another fraudulent scammer. Carolyn you are a big got piece of shit. How much of your life so you spend trying to discredit a dead man.
The holocaust happened you disgusting human being. Maybe your grandpa was throwing babies in the fire. Tattoos can be removed. Many from that long ago have faded and become unrecognizable. You must be so filed with hate. You are pathetic. Get a life. Do something positive in the world. Do something. As much as I suspect Elie Wiesel may have fabricated some of the facts presented in his books, I think you are way off base with the tattoo.
In one picture, you claim the disputed tattoo is probably a bruise, but the same mark can be seen on at least one other picture on the website in the same place. It seems unlikely that he would have the same bruise in the same place at different times. In , he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Wiesel was born on September 30, , in Sighet , Transylvania Romania , from — part of Hungary. In , he and his family were deported to Auschwitz.

In March , Nazi Germany occupied its ally Hungary. Between May 15 and July 9, , Hungarian officials in cooperation with German authorities deported nearly , Jews primarily to Auschwitz, where most were killed. Among the first to be deported were the Jews of Sighet, including Wiesel, his parents, and his three sisters.
He was 15 years old. The Wiesel family was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau , which served as both a concentration camp and a killing center. His two older sisters, Beatrice and Hilda, were selected for forced labor and survived the war. Wiesel and his father Shlomo were also selected for forced labor. He and his father were later transported from Auschwitz to Buchenwald , where his father died.
After the war, Wiesel studied in Paris and eventually became a journalist there. For almost a decade, he remained silent about what he had endured as an inmate in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald camps.
He subsequently wrote La Nuit Night. Since its publication in , La Nuit Night has been translated into 30 languages and millions of copies have been sold. In Night , Wiesel writes about his experiences at the hands of the Nazis during the Holocaust. Among other things, he describes:.
How old is Elie at the end of night? In , in the village of Sighet, Romania, twelve-year-old Elie Wiesel spends much time and emotion on the Talmud and on Jewish mysticism.
His instructor, Moshe the Beadle, returns from a near-death experience and warns that Nazi aggressors will soon threaten the serenity of their lives. Where is Auschwitz located? How do you say Elie Wiesel? Elie Wiesel is pronounced, el-ee vee-ZEL. The name Elie is a shortened version of the full first name, Eliezer. What did Elie Wiesel teach? Teaching has always been central to Elie Wiesel's work.
Since , he has been the Andrew W. Why is Elie Wiesel important? Elie Wiesel is a very important person because he was able to express through his writing the events that occurred during the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a very horrible time for the Jewish people in Europe, who were sent to concentration camps just because of the religion they believed in. How did Elie Wiesel survive?
I constructed the following numerical birthday brainteasers in his memory:. If numbers 1 to 26 are assigned to the letters of the English alphabet as A being 1, B being 2, C being 3, etc. The 87th prime number is which coincides with the reverse of the rightmost three digits of , the year when Wiesel and his family were sent to Auschwitz. If July 2, the day Wiesel died this year, is represented by 72, twice 72 is which equals the product of the digits of
