Email from Radu Ioanid to Leslie Meyers regarding Elie Wiesel's rejection of a Hungarian award
Elie Wiesel Digital Archive
Email ·
June 18, 2012
The document is an email from Radu Ioanid (from the USHMM) to Leslie Meyers, sent on June 18, 2012. The email forwards a message from Randy Herschaft of the Associated Press, which contains an AP news article co-authored by Verena Dobnik and Herschaft. The article reports that Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel is publicly repudiating a high state award he received from Hungary in 2004. Wiesel's action is a protest against the participation of top Hungarian officials, including the parliament speaker Laszlo Kover, in a ceremony honoring Jozsef Nyiro, a wartime parliament member whom Wiesel identifies as a "fascist ideologue." Wiesel, whose parents were deported to their deaths at Auschwitz by wartime Hungarian officials, found the event offensive and wrote a letter to Kover to reject the award.

Roger Fajnzylberg, General Director of OSE (Oeuvre de Secours aux Enfants), writes to Elie Wiesel (via his assistant) to update him on various OSE activities and to invite his participation. The email expresses pride in Elie Wiesel's work and shares news that Nicolas Sarkozy accepted OSE's proposal to elevate many former "Enfants de Buchenwald" living in France to the rank of Knight of the Legion of Honor, with a joint ceremony at the Elysée pending confirmation. Fajnzylberg also reports on the recent inauguration of "Café des psaumes" in Paris, a social and cultural hub for the elderly, attended by the Mayor of Paris and over 600 people. Upcoming events include a private fundraising visit to the Petit Palais for major donors, featuring André Glucksmann as guest of honor. Finally, Fajnzylberg informs Wiesel about the preparations for OSE's centenary celebrations throughout 2012, to be held in Paris, Saint-Petersburg, Warsaw, Berlin, Morocco, Israel, and potentially the United States, and asks about Wiesel's possible involvement and availability to visit Paris.
