	Elie Wiesel Bio
		Elie Wiesel's statement, "...to remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all..."stands as a succinct summary of his views on life and serves as the driving force of his work.
		Wiesel's job as chairman of the President's Commission on the Holocaust was the planning of an American memorial to the victims of the Holocaust.
		Wiesel remained chairman of the Committee until 1986.

	Wiesel 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wiesel AWC is a German light air-transportable armoured fighting vehicle, more specifically a lightly-armoured weapons carrier.
		Nevertheless the Wiesel can easily be flown in by transport helicopters, a single CH-53 helicopter can fly in two at once, and common transport planes can carry four or more Wiesel vehicles.
		Various versions of the Wiesel exist, with different weapon configurations including machine guns, antitank missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles.

		Wiesel's self-proclaimed debut voicing his opinions on the Mideast crisis, he firmly established himself as the world's greatest hypocrite on matters of human rights.
		Wiesel abused his status as a respected public figure by presenting a distorted, one-sided account of the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, from the point of view of someone seeking to justify colonialist activities aimed at oppressing millions of people.
		Wiesel has moved the world with his touching words about the horrors of Jewish suffering at the hands of the Europeans, he tries to legitimize the expulsion of another group of people from their homeland based purely on their ethnicity and religion.

	Night (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Elie Wiesel, a boy of fourteen, was deported from his home in Sighet, Romania to the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald.
		Wiesel speaks in the plainest of terms, and in such a way as to touch the deepest concerns of every believer who would seek to justify God's sovereign rule in the light of the presence of horrific evil.
		But this dilemma, the one which Wiesel was challenged by in so personal a way through his experience of the Nazi Holocaust, is not new.

	Ghosts, God and the Problem of Dirty Hands
		Nevertheless, the success of Wiesel’s response to the problem of dirty hands also depends upon his ability to exploit religious resources quite alien to the atheism (or paganism) of such philosophical ‘masters.’ This is evident in the key roles played by ‘ghosts’ and God that will be discussed in section two and three, respectively.
		Wiesel avoids the inherent problems of that model by devising an imaginative ritual in which the hands are dirtied in an appropriate way.
		Wiesel’s position has remained consistent over the years, and it mirrors the relationship between Elisha’s experience in the Holocaust and his experience as a Zionist fighting to found the state of Israel.

		Wiesel once stood against all kinds of violence, but in recent decades he has stood up just as often to defend slaughter as to condemn it.
		I meant that Wiesel is arguing that Europe should join with the US in putting pressure on Saddam to disarm, and should agree to military action as a last resort.
		Similar to Wiesel, he suggests that force should be used as a last resort.

	Speaking of Faith \| Your Reflections \| The Tragedy of the Believer: A Conversation with Elie Wiesel
		I was very disappointed to note regarding Elie Wiesel (who is presented by your program as a "towering moral figure", winner of the Nobel Prize and the Congressional Medal of Honor) that people like him who have suffered so much themselves become, in the drift of time, blind to the suffereing of others.
		Wiesel further mentions that no government would deal with "terrorists," conveniently forgetting that terrorism was used by the "founding fathers" of Israel to get their "homeland"(the blowing up of the King David Hotel, the Semirimis Hotel, murdering the UN envoy, Count Bernadott, etc).
		Wiesel makes moral proclamations to humanity, may I suggest he try to break free of the immoral prejudice of always seeing the Palestinians as the criminal culprits and Israel as the righteous victim.

		In Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's memoir Night, a scholarly, pious teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust and the genocidal campaign that consumed his family.
		Wiesel's autobiographical account of 'life' in the concentration camps remains one of the ten most influential books I have ever read.
		Wiesel's ability to go back to such a young age and remember such atrocities is amazing.

	Baylor University \|\| The Pulse \|\| Suffering and Doubt in G. M. Hopkins' "The Wreck of the Deutschland"
		While Hopkins, Wiesel and Levi all express many frustrations, their modernist style admits an absence of certain explanations so that the reader feels the burden of interpretation and feels driven to find (and is indeed, responsible for) the poem’s completion and full meaning.
		Wiesel’s poem, like Hopkins’ poem is beautiful for what is not said; the silence it embodies in sparseness and somberness of language allows the author to develop the snapshots in each line into some coherent representation of Wiesel’s memories.
		Wiesel says just enough in these lines for the reader to decipher a scene, but he does not synthesize these into his own reaction, or into a full story.

	Bold Type: Elie Wiesel
		Wiesel's prominence as a writer, speaker, and (sometimes reluctant) head of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council has required him to voice his disgust when political expediencies take precedence over moral imperatives.
		When Elie Wiesel was liberated from Buchenwald in 1945, having also been in Birkenau, Auschwitz, and Buna, and having lost his parents and sister during his stay in the camps, he imposed a ten-year vow of silence upon himself before he would attempt to write about what he saw and experienced there.
		He is the first to speak up when dictators use their power to criminal ends, but he refuses to profane the memory of the dead by invoking an event of singular evil to score a cheap rhetorical point.

	Memory, Salvation, and Perdition
		So far I have taken Wiesel's claim that salvation lies in memory of wrongs to mean that such memory is a component of salvation, which is to say that salvation lies literally in memory.
		This is how Wiesel primarily intended the claim (though he very much insists on the importance of the memory of wrongdoing for identity[12]).
		Wiesel is well aware that the memory of wrongs committed or suffered -- even memory of the Holocaust -- is ambiguous and can therefore be deeply problematic.

	A Prominent False Witness: Elie Wiesel
		These words did not slip from their author in a moment of frenzy: first, he wrote them, then some unspecified number of times (but at least once) he had to reread them in the proofs; finally, his words were translated into various languages, as is everything this author writes.
		Wiesel gives credence to the most absurd stories of other "eyewitnesses." He spreads fantastic tales of 10,000 persons sent to their deaths each day in Buchenwald.
		When Elie Wiesel and his father, as Auschwitz prisoners, had the choice of either leaving with their retreating German "executioners," or remaining behind in the camp to await the Soviet "liberators," the two decided to leave with their German captors.

	Elie Wiesel Mortified After Rereading Night \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		BOSTON—Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel said in an interview Monday that he recently revisited his debut work, Night, nearly 50 years after its publication and was "absolutely horrified" at the amateurish quality of the memoir.
		Wiesel said that, although Night is not his only work that deals with his personal experience of the Holocaust, it is by far his "most humiliating."
		Wiesel went on to criticize Night for lacking the subtlety of his later writings, claiming the use of foreshadowing was predictable and the description of the harrowing gas chamber selection process felt "clichéd…like bad daytime TV melodrama."

	NEUROBIOLOGY: ON RETINA-CORTEX WIRING
		1) Forty years ago Hubel and Wiesel [1] elucidated our understanding of the visual cortex with the discovery that the receptive fields of the visual cortex are made up of elongated mutually antagonistic zones.
		In a recent study, Field and Rieke [1] have taken a reverse engineering approach to an early step in vision to examine how this is done; they find, counterintuitively, that to optimize performance much of the signal is thrown out with the noise.
		Nevertheless, as Field and Rieke [1] have shown, noise can be optimally filtered out solely on the basis of the amplitude distributions of signal and noise [4,5].

		Wiesel speaks of German officers boarding with Jewish households, and how they were polite and even pleasant to their captives.
		Denial is a natural human reaction when disaster first strikes, and Wiesel perfectly portrays human nature when he describes the town of Sighet's denial of each day's new dangers.
