Report

October 17, 1986
This document is an excerpt from the Congressional Record, dated October 17, 1986, featuring a speech by Senator Christopher J. Dodd. The speech honors Elie Wiesel for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, praising his monumental contributions as a witness to the Holocaust. Dodd emphasizes Wiesel's writing, teaching, and personal testimony for helping survivors tell their stories and ensuring the world remembers the horrors of concentration camps such as Dachau, Treblinka, Buchenwald, Bergen-Belsen, and Auschwitz. The speech underscores the importance of remembering the 6 million murdered Jews and condemns Holocaust deniers. It also acknowledges Wiesel's broader work on human suffering and genocide in various global conflicts, including those in Cambodia, Central America, Lebanon, Northern Ireland, Biafra, and Vietnam. The document includes a handwritten inscription from "Chris" (likely Christopher J. Dodd) to Elie Wiesel, stating, "To Elie - I wish my words below Could more accurately Senate Capture my true feeling for you my friend Love always Chris."

June 27, 2003
This document comprises two fax transmissions. The first fax, dated October 6, 2003, is from Tomáš Kudrna of the Nadace Dagmar a Václava Havlových VIZE 97 (Dagmar and Václav Havel Foundation VIZE 97). It is a request for the mailing address of Mr. Elie Wiesel, as the foundation wishes to send him a letter from Mr. Václav Havel.
The second fax, dated June 27, 2003, is a letter from Elie Wiesel, University Professor at Boston University, addressed to President Václav Havel. Wiesel thanks Havel for an invitation but expresses his current inability to accept due to health reasons. He explains that he recently returned from a journey to the Mideast and Europe, which he had to interrupt in Athens due to his health, and is now recuperating. He asks Havel to convey his regrets and explanation to Robert Reich. Wiesel concludes by wishing Havel and Dagmar a healthy and joyous summer. The letter is signed by Elie Wiesel and indicates it was dictated but not read.

July 24, 1992
This document contains two letters to the editor published in The Globe and Mail, discussing Polish history, anti-Semitism, and the Holocaust. The first letter, by Richard C. Lukas (published June 30, 1992), defends Poland against accusations of racially-based anti-Semitism, arguing for the existence of strong "philo-Semitic" forces and higher numbers of Jewish survivors due to Polish assistance during World War II. He challenges Steve Paikin's article, "Poland Striving To Shake Off An Anti-Semitic Past," and disputes the claim that death camps were primarily located in Poland due to Polish anti-Semitism.
The second letter, by Eli Pfefferkorn (published July 24, 1992), responds to Lukas, accusing him of historical revisionism. Pfefferkorn references events like the Przytek and Wysockie-Mazowiecki pogroms and the anti-Jewish boycott by the Endeks to counter Lukas's assertions. He also disputes Lukas's statistics on Jewish survival and Polish rescuers, citing data from The Encyclopedia of the Holocaust and Yad Vashem, and shares his personal experience of facing danger from Poles in German-occupied Poland.
