Elie Wiesel
Continued from Page 26
(Soviet Jews') courage and
faith." Fifteen years later,
noting U.S. quiescence about
Soviet Jews, Wiesel said, "It
is our responsibility, and ours
alone, to ensure that their
hope does not fade and die as
they wait in darkness."
As he has waged his quest,
Wiesel has become, perhaps,
more wise — and definitely
more modest. His youthful
ambitions were grandiose and
sweeping; his adult vision
has become not more con-
stricted, but more simple.
"When I was young,"
Wiesel has said,' "I believed
fervently in the coming of the
Messiah. I believed that
every child could be one or
help to become one. Today, I
am less ambitious. To save
the life of one child, one per-
son is enough."
One cannot say with any
certainty that Elie Wiesel
has saved a single life. But
one can say that he has
opened the eyes of the mor-
ally blind, that he has given
hearing to the morally deaf,
that he — a survivor of the
Holocaust — has used the
Holocaust as a weapon
against complacency and
hate. Elie Wiesel has defied
the death machinery of the
Third Reich to embrace —
almost as a silent, vigorous
taunt in the direction of Hit-
ler's bunker — the possibility
that our world can be bet-
tered, that we need not
stumble into the mindless
slaughters that the Third
Reich portended.
"To save the life of one
child, one person, is enough."
Yes, and to redeem oneself
— and one's world — from
the abyss of night is also
enough.
USSR Invites
Wiesel To Visit
Washington (JTA) — The
Soviet Union has invited Elie
Wiesel, chairman of the U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Council,
to visit the USSR to meet
with Russian scholars and
archivists on the fate of
millions of non-Jewish Serbs,
Ukrainians, Poles, Czechs,
Russian soldiers and others
killed in Nazi concentration
camps during World War II,
it was reported last week.
The meetings in Moscow
are to prepare for a conference
sponsored by the Memorial
Council at the State Depart-
ment on February 20, 1987,
on non-Jewish victims of the
Nazis. Wiesel will also gather
information for the U.S
Holocaust Memorial Museum
being built in Washington.

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Paris (JTA) — len tons of
top secret archives describing
in detail the activities of
French collaborators with the
Nazis during the German oc-
cupation of France will be
analyzed by French histor-
ians and members of the state
prosecution. The archives,
which consist of several
million documents, are be-
lieved to be the largest such
collection not yet classified
by any authority, it was
revealed recently.
The former head of the
French Secret Service, Alex-
andre De Marenches, revealed
in a recently published auto-
biography that upon his ap-
pointment as head of in-
telligence in 1970, he dis-
covered to his amazement
that 10 tons of documents
were stored without ever hav-
ing been examined. He said
he did not have the means or
the staff to undertake a
thorough analysis but
ordered that a few documents
picked at random be examin-
ed to ascertain their authen-
ticity.
He said the random selec-
tion showed the documents
were not only authentic but
threw a new and tragic light
on the Nazi occupation. Ac-
cording to Marenches they
showed that many people,
honored as war and resistance
heroes, had actually col-
laborated with the Nazis and
even paid for their services.
Marenches who resigned in
1981, said the collaborators
included "famous names"
among the so-called war
heroes.
The President of the Na-
tional = Assembly, Jacques
Chaban Delmas, himself a
former resistance fighter,
called for an immediate
through examination of these
record. Chaban-Delmas said
that leaving them in secret
storage as they now are would
bring discredit to all former
resistance fighters.
Defense Minister Andre
Giraud said Monday that the
archives will be handed over
to the historical department
of his Ministry to be exa-
mined by its researchers and
by the staff of the State At-
torney. Giraud said the Na-
tional Resistance Commis-
sion, a consultative body ac-
credited to the Defense Min-
istry, will also be authorized
to examine the documents.
But even if incriminating
t evidence is found it will not
be admissable in French
court because all war crimes,
except genocide. are covered
by the statute of limitations.
