Wiesel: Ahmadinejad UN Speech Shows World Hasn't Learned from Holocaust Published on: October 19th, 2008 at 06:03 PM News Source: Harratz Manhattan, NY - Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel has said that the recent speech in the United Nations by Iran's president, who has called for Israel's destruction, shows that the world has learned nothing from the Holocaust. "Ten years ago, and less, the ruler of a country that announced its aspiration for Israel to be wiped off the map would not have dared appear and speak on the UN's podium," Weisel said. "The era known as 'the period after Auschwitz' is over," he declared, adding: "If you ask me whether the world has learned something - my answer is no." Wiesel was referring to an address Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivered at the international body in late September. Ahmadinejad railed against "Zionist murderers" in the speech and dwelled on what he described as Zionist control of international finance. Wiesel, who recently celebrated his 80th birthday, was born in 1928 in Romania and survived the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. Speaking from his Manhattan office, Wiesel also said that his initial belief that "hatred had also been burned [in Auschwitz] along with the Jews" appeared to have been wrong in light of the wickedness and suffering in the world today.
