The Nobel Peace Prize for 1986

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has resolved that the Nobel Peace Prize for 1986 should be awarded to the author, Elie Wiesel. It is the Committee's opinion that Elie Wiesel has emerged as one of the most important spiritual leaders and guides in an age when violence, repression and racism continue to characterise the world.

Wiesel is a messenger to mankind; his message is one of peace, atonement and human dignity. His belief that the forces fighting evil in the world can be victorious is a hard-won belief. His message is based on his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler's death camps. The message is in the form of a testimony, repeated and deepened through the works of a great author.

Wiesel's commitment, which originated in the sufferings of the Jewish people, has been widened to embrace all repressed peoples and races.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee believes that Elie Wiesel, with his message and through his practical work in the cause of peace, is a convincing spokesman for the view of mankind and for the unlimited humanitarianism which are at all times necessary for a lasting and just peace.

Oslo, October 14, 1986

Who's dead are we remembering? It appears that is the point of your thread.

Jewish dead? Nazi dead? Zulu dead? Which dead are we to remember?

Pick up a copy of "Night", read it, and get a clue, in no particular order.

He spoke here in Hong Kong a few years ago. I really wish I had heard about it before the event was over. Night remains one of my favorite books.

Sounds like Elie Weasel.

Confed, I don't disagree with your points, but I do think it's pretty rude to insert them in someone's requiem thread.

It's like going to a friend's funeral and mentioning that you once fucked his wife.

Not that I can understand more than about 50% of Confederate's post, but it looks pretty on topic as far as I can tell.

I stopped at the "Jewish Hitler" part of the rant.

[DoomYoshi]

The problem with Romans is that they cooked everything with fish oil. Every country that currently uses fish oil is a satanic cesspool. The Pax Romana wasn't worth it, IMO.

So you have immediately resorted to name calling YOU PRETENTIOUS FUCKHEAD, simply because I never read the book.

This is why people think you are like an annoying asshole with a willnot.

[mrswdk]

In Symmetry's defense I don't think he could have made the subject of this thread any more apparent.

What name do you think I called you? I'm genuinely intrigued. You've obviously called me a few names in your post though.

Would it be fair for me to call you a hypocrite? Just on the evidence quotes, of course . Not sure I understand the "willnot" bit. Was it a typo?

I do think you should read Night though. You would understand the thread better if you knew about him and his work.

I know what the subject is. It's not what I asked.

I asked who's dead are we to remember?

Just Jewish dead, Zulu dead, Chinese dead?

Look, if you are going to rant on and on about the Holocaust and how terrible it was, I agree, BUT, don't start doing to others what was done to you. Israel is now treating the Palestinians very much like Hitler treated the Jews. Hitler forced all the Polish Jews into a portion of Warsaw and made it a terrible ghetto. The Jews are now doing the same in Palestine. How quickly they have forgotten their dead.

You called me clueless. I retaliated.

A will not is a piece of shit that gets caught in your anal hair and will not come out. Also known as a deygo. Dey go where you go.

[Symmetry]

I didn't call you clueless, I asked you to get a clue. I even pointed you in the right direction for getting said clue about Elie Wiesel.

It's a great book- read it and learn something. Don't sit around calling people names for pointing out that it's a good way to know who he is.

It's an amazing book, and well worth a read.

[notyou2]

Telling someone to "get a clue"is calling them clueless, no mater which way you slice it or dice it.

You still haven't answered my question.

Not really the same thing though is it? You've been posting about how you don't know who Elie Wiesel is, or what he wrote about.

Read Night- you'll get a clue about who he was and what he stood for.

It's not a long book, but it's powerful. I think reading it will answer many of your questions, if you're open to giving it a try.

Night is one of my favourite books as well. RIP to a legend.
