- bwhite4815, on 07/23/2008, -9/+2I mean, Eli Wiesel is a fiction writer.

I visited the Dachau concentration camp while I was in Germany and it was something I'll never forget. horrible. - placidified, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Night by Elie Wiesel

This young man, whether insane, depressed or otherwise compromised attacked him and wrote about it gleefully on an anti-semetic website. I am glad that the law stood up for Wiesel this time, a small reparation for having failed him so miserably long ago.
