Holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate, Elie Wiesel, gave this impassioned speech in the East Room of the White House on April 12, 1999, as part of the Millennium Lecture series, hosted by President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. In the summer of 1944, as a teenager in Hungary, Elie Wiesel, along with his father, mother and sisters, were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz extermination camp in occupied Poland. Upon arrival there, Wiesel and his father were selected by SS Dr. Josef Mengele for slave labor and wound up at the nearby Buna rubber factory. Daily life included starvation rations of soup and bread, brutal discipline, and a constant struggle against overwhelming despair. At one point, young Wiesel received 25 lashes of the whip for a minor infraction. In January 1945, as the Russian Army drew near, Wiesel and his father were hurriedly evacuated from Auschwitz by a forced march to Gleiwitz and then via an open train car to Buchenwald in Germany, where his father, mother, and a younger sister eventually died. Wiesel was liberated by American troops in April 1945. After the war, he moved to Paris and became a journalist then later settled in New York. Since 1976, he has been Andrew Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University. He has received numerous awards and honors including the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He was also the Founding Chair of the United States Holocaust Memorial. Wiesel has written over 40 books including

Elie Wiesel's Relationship with God By Robert E. Douglas, Jr. Sufficiency Course Sequence: Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Humanities Sufficiency Program Worcester Polytechnic Institute Worcester, Massachusetts Abstract: The Holocaust presents one of the most disturbing theological dilemmas of the twentieth century. As a survivor of the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel has to reevaluate God in his world. He does so through is writings, in which he questions God and tells us of the answers, or lack of answers, that he receives. Contents Contents Introduction Before the Holocaust Signs of Doubt ... About this document ... Elie Wiesel's Relationship with God Introduction Robert Brown writes of Wiesel, ``Contrary to much popular interpretation, Wiesel's indictment of God does not constitute a denial of God...if only one could deny and have it over and done with...at least the ground rules would be clear...'' ( [Brown] , 142) The denial of God would make all the questioning pointless, as there would be no reason to expect any reasonable answer. It might be a scary thought, but true nonetheless. It is in God's existence that the questions can be asked, but not necessarily answered. ``The survivors [of the Holocaust]...are aware of the fact that God's presence at Treblinka...poses a problem which will remain forever insoluble.'' ( Legends , 6) To ourselves we must reassess God's place in our world, and question the fact that God could watch as the horrors of the Holocaust were committed.

Elie Wiesel Nobel Prize recipient/author Romanian 1992 Recipient Born in the town of Sighet in northern Transylvania, near the Ukrainian border in 1928, Eliezer Wiesel grew up experiencing first-hand the horrors of the Holocaust. In 1944, Wiesel and his family were transported to Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland during World War II. There, Elie's mother and youngest sister, Tzipora, died in the gas chambers. The following year, after he and his father were transferred to Buchenwald, the senior Wiesel died from starvation and dysentery. Elie did not learn that his two older sisters were alive until after the war. In 1945, at the end of the war, Wiesel moved to Paris, where he studied literature, philosophy, and psychology at the Sorbonne. With a strong desire to write, Mr. Wiesel worked as a journalist in Paris before coming to the United States in 1956. He became an American citizen almost by accident. After coming to New York City on assignment, he was hit by a taxicab, and confined to a wheelchair for a year. A friend convinced him to apply for U.S. citizenship, and he eventually decided to remain in America. Credited by many as being the first person to use the term "holocaust," Mr. Wiesel published his first novel in 1956. Un di Velt Hot Geshvign (And the World Has Remained Silent) was the first of a series of books Wiesel would write about his experiences at Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Although his works were ultimately successful, Elie Wiesel met with initial skepticism. "The holocaust was not something people wanted to know about in those days," he reported in an interview with Time magazine. "The diary of Anne Frank was about as far as anyone wanted to venture into the dark."

hat has been your greatest achievement as a public figure? You've said you don't enjoy politics, but do you have what you would consider a greatest achievement in the political realm? I don't know much about politics, and I don't want to know. That's why I rarely involve myself in politics. But I think I've tried to raise awareness of the suffering of Jewish people, and beyond itbut not without itthe suffering of other people during the Second World War. And there's my fight for Soviet Jews who are dissidents. I was in Russia for the first time in '65. I never stopped fighting for them. My book Jews of Silence came out a year later. I am also proud of my work as a teacher; I love teaching. What courses are you teaching now? I never teach the same course twice. This semester, I am teaching two courses.
