        <description><![CDATA[America did help liberate Germany, and many others.  The countires that remained neutral probably did so because they were opposed to war, violence, etc. In fact many of the smaller countires that remained neutral still allowed refugees into their borders. Jewish people with fake visas, etc. The allied powers weren't uncaring, America was in the middle of the Great depression, as were other countries. To fight a war without economic...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Wiesel has served as the moral conscious of the world in regard to genocide and silence since being liberated from the camp and "seeing a corpse stare back at me."  He emerged as a journalist and erudite scholar at the time he published Night.  He began the process of speaking out about the lessons from the Holocaust at a time when the world was more concerned with the global discussion of Communism and sought to put the Holocaust in the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Indeed, I think if we are committed to the traditionally liberal notions of democracy, self rule, freedom to act and freedom to be left alone, one has little other choice but to act when another is in desperation, and even when crisis abounds.  I think it's an issue of principle and to take the role of silence is complicity, and as Wiesel says, "a nod to the aggressor" (I think this was in one of the previous posts.)  The challenge is how...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I agree with akannan's post to your question. I want to add that the kind of indefference that is being discussed by Elie Wiesel is the kind of head turning that the German people did during the early days of Hitler's rise to power and the beginning of the Third Reich. The good German people did nothing to stop Hitler's round-up of German Jewish people into Ghettos or terrorizing the German people in the streets. No one had the stamina or...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Wiesel draws upon his own experience as a survivor at Buchenwald, one of the Nazi death camps, to prove the argument that American indifference endangers the entire world.  He makes the valid assertion that it was the action of American troops that stopped Hitler, ended the Holocaust, and freed the survivors, like Wiesel himself:  "And now, I stand before you, Mr. President- Commander in Chief of the army that freed me, and tens of thousands...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Elie spent some time in an orphanage shortly after his liberation.  Afterwards, he attended school in France and eventually found out that his two older sisters had survived the concentration camps.
He married a French woman who translates his works for him.
He emigrated to the United States after he was in a car accident in New York which forced him to spend extra time in America.  He has served as a professor of philosophy at Boston...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The purpose for most of the medical experiementation done on live humans was three-fold.
The first order of business was to use science and technology to create a "superior Arian race". There were medical experiements done in Auschwitz and Ravensbrueck which involved the sterilization of Jewish and Roma women through injections of various substances. The Nazi world-view consisted of a superior race that ruled over all others or simply...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Auschwitz, Dacchau and Buchenwald were "death" camps or "extermination" camps. The main reason a prisoner was sent to one of these camps was for extermination.
Zyklon-B gas was the cheapest, most reliable and most used method of murdering the victims.
Other methods of "gassing" had been used but proved unreliable.
First, the prisoners arrived at the camp by transport on a train. This meant loaded in cattle cars to the point that they were...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Nazi propaganda about the Jews circulated in WW2 was mainly to help persuade other non- Jew community members that the Jews, as a community of people, were dangerous, destructive, greedy, liars, who where ultimately responsible for the political and economic state of Germany post WW1. 
The effects of this propaganda can be seen through study of the events of the Holocaust. Non- Jew Germans turned on their Jewish neighbors and...]]></description>
