Perhaps it takes no more courage to father a child in ourworld than it does for Wiesel to constantly attempt to fathom his years in Buchenwald, to comprehend his losses and transmogrify , /1 them into vehicles to become, as the Nobel Prize committee said, "one of the most impor- tant spiritual leaders and guides in an age when vio- lence, repression and racism characterize the world." Strangely, as Wiesel has admitted, when he con- templates the Holocaust, the central event of his life, he feels "no pain." "I am still baffled and be- wildered ...," he has said. "Sometimes I feel remorse. But mainly I feel a gratitude for having lived through such a great and profound mys- tery." "How could so few do so much to many? How did the victims remain human dur- ing and after the experi- ence?" "And when I think of them, I cannot but feel privileged and full of gratitude, because there is a certain lesson in- volved — that generosity survives cruelty, that man survives the murdered." Having survi,e; Wiesel pursues t he mu-dert -,, wher- ever the3 2:lay be. in 1974, he protested the terrorist mur- ders of school children in the Israeli village of Maalot by demanding that, "Now — this time — we must succeed in shaking mankind's indif- ference." "How much sorrow and shame can one generation endure?" "Will we again turn away and forget?" In 1979, Wiesel protested the world's treatment of Cambodian refugees by going to Thailand's border with Cambodia "because nobody came when I was there (in the concentration camps)." In September 1982, when he learned of the massacre in the Palestinian West Beirut refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila, Wiesel said it was his "worst and darkest" Rosh Hashanah since the end of World War II. "Almost dis- armed," he felt "i ncommensu- rate sadness." "A gesture is needed" from the Jews, he said.' "Perhaps we ought to proclaim a day of fasting, surely a day of tak- ing stock." And long before the cause of Soviet Jewry had /enlisted the aid of millions of citizens in the West and a/ score of statesmen, Wiesel tiaveled to the Soviet Union to be with — and to write about — his fellow Jews. After returning from the USSR in 1967, he said the "crucial question is whether we, Jews who live in free countries, are worthy of , 1 00 Monthly IF X-RAYS ARE NECESSARY, MOST INSURANCE PLANS COVER THE COST 30405 W. 12 Mile • Farmington Hills • Suite B, Lower Level 26 Service This entitles you to: Check this list.

Your place is with the victims of the SS." On Tuesday, Wiesel's words and moral courage were hon- ored by the Nobel Prize Committee. Announcing that Wiesel would receive the Peace Prize, the Nobel com- mittee saluted Wiesel as "a messenger to mankind. His message is one of peace, atonement and human dig- nity. His belief that the forces fighting evil in the world can be victorious is a hard-won belief." Hard-won, indeed. Since 1944, Wiesel has struggled with a universe that makes little sense, with a world whose bearings of sense were dismantled by Hitler's Ger- many more than four decades ago. Certainty eludes him; mystery pursues him. "Nothing is clear to me," Wiesel has said. "Nothing is solved. Nothing is answered." "All my work is a question mark. My work does not con- tain one single answer. It is always questions, questions I always try to deepen." "I envy those scholars and thinkers who pride them- selves on • understanding the tragedy of the Holocaust in terms of an entire people. I myself have not yet suc- ceeded in explaining the tragedy of a single one of its sons." For years, Wiesel has said that he would not bring a child of his own into this world. In the late 1960s, though, he became "more" optimistic towards the Jews, but not towards the world. I think Jews have certain secrets of survival which we are trying to share with others." When his son, Shlomo, was born in 1973, Wiesel said, "It is impossible that 3,500 years (of Jewish lineage) should end with me, so I took these 3,500 years and put them on the shoulders of this little child. It took me some time to realize the outrageous cour- Continued on Page 28 -/
