It is not true that Wiesel's own language was Yiddish. The Hungarian Jew Miklos Gruner says that when he first met him he tried to talk to him in both Hungarian and Yiddish and that Wiesel understood neither language. In the video "Elie Wiesel Goes Home" Wiesel speaks a few words of Hunga...

The nose on the pictures you've shown and the nose on the guy on the entry card are not the same nose. Not by a long shot. Elie Wiesel had black or very dark hair and it was not an artifact of photography. But you can believe what you want, as most people do about Wiesel. Everyone is an expert, espe...

Here is Elie Wiesel at 26 on this page: http://mahoundsparadise.blogspot.com/2016/07/elie-wiesel-and-francois-mauriac.html I have this picture at Elie Wiesel Tattoo.com too but it was easier to find it here. Look at that black hair, and that hooked nose. That is the actual Wiesel. Not the guy on the...

It kinda looks like the real Weasel to me. I wouldn't say "it definitely is not". You wouldn't say it because you don't know enough about it except "it kinda looks like him." That's what I thought, too, and that's why I accepted it as Wiesel early on and didn't question it after...

The point here is that the photo on this particular entry card from the Serbian or Yugoslav Embassy in Paris is claimed to be a photo of Elie Wiesel at the age of 26. It definitely is not. This is what is supposed to support Ennis' claim that Wiesel is Serbian. It is a pointless discussion. If Kingf...

You again? That entry card with the photo that looks like Wiesel is NOT Elie Wiesel at all - that's why the name was cut off. I was fooled by it for a long time, but finally realized other photos of Wiesel taken at that time look very different. As to other posters in this thread, we see that the fe...

hermod... and sweetie pie: - So why would the Soviets need to "re-enact" their arrival at Auschwitz? Why wouldn't they just show us footage of what they initially found? answer: Because they didn't find anything like the later propaganda claimed, so they needed to "re-enact" 'fa...

and: The fact that most Jews did leave with the SS while thousands of healthy Jews did not. I'd like to have strong evidence that thousands of HEALTHY Jews did not leave with the SS. There is no evidence that thousands of healthy jews stayed behind at Auschwitz and did not go to Buchenwald. That's ...

"He has also written that his family spoke Yiddish at home." What's your reference for this? "There is no way his family spoke Hungarian at home," Why do you think this? In his official autobiography All Rivers Run to the Sea, he never mentions speaking Hungarian. On page 293: &...

Sweetie pie As I have posted above, Wiesel stated on video that he spoke Hungarian at home. He may have said that, kingfisher, but that doesn't make it true. He has also written that his family spoke Yiddish at home. One thing you can count on with Wiesel is that he contradicts himself to say whate...

Wiesel's own language was not Yiddish. We have this from the testimony of Miklos Gruner, who said that when he first met "Elie Wiesel" he could not speak Jewish (by which he meant Yiddish). If "Elie Wiesel" had really been brought up in Sighet, Romania, this was a Hungarian spea...

"Your theories are knocked down since they are solely based on this card." My theories are not based on this card but on the fact that "Elie Wiesel" spoke English with a Serbian accent. How could he have done this if he was not Serbian? No one but you has said he spoke English w...

Could be that we are all so obsessed by the man who called himself Elie Wiesel that we forgot to look in a different direction. The real pursuit should be that of Lazar Wiesel. Find him and what became of him and voila you have the true story about the man who became Elie Wiesel. Any thoughts? Yes....

If "Elie Wiesel" is not Serbian, then what nationality is he? I used to spend a lot of time in Hungary, and the Hungarians have a completely different language and accent. Someone I knew well in Budapest was a builder from Novi Sad in Serbia. When I compared how he and "Elie Wiesel&q...

Given how lauded Mr Wiesel was by Lords, ladies, Presidents and national leaders all over the world, I was very surprised to note how quickly they buried him and how low key the ceremony, or lack of, was. Sort of suggests to me he was a liability and if they shout too loudly about his departure fro...
