'Holocaust Victims,' Relatives Challenge Elie Wiesel for Defending Israel by Phyllis Chesler Breitbart August 25, 2014 http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/1356/holocaust-victims-relatives-challenge-elie-wiesel Print Send RSS Share: Be the first of your friends to like this. On August 23, 2014, a paid ad/open letter appeared in the New York Times taking Elie Wiesel to task for playing the "Holocaust trump" card and for trying to "justify the unjustifiable: Israel's wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of more than 2000 Palestinians."  The open letter was in response to Wiesel's ad, which appeared in a number of newspapers including the ​"Paper of Record​" but which was rejected by the Times of London, and called upon "President Obama and the leaders of the world to condemn Hamas's use of children as human shields." Saturday's ad is an open letter by "Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors and victims of Nazi genocide." One signatory is listed as the "spouse of a hidden child;" some are identified as the children of survivors, as child refugees, or as relatives of refugees (who escaped the Holocaust); some are listed as the grandchildren of survivors and refugees, some are described as the great-grandchildren of survivors, and some merely as "relatives" of survivors and of victims.   » CONTINUE READING Related Topics:  Anti-Semitism, Israel
