Wiesel Calls For
Summit On Bosnia
Washington (JTA) — Holo-
caust survivor and Nobel
Peace Prize laureate. Elie
Wiesel has returned from a
recent trip to Bosnia-
Herzegovina with a report of
"devastation" and
"incomparable hatred" and
a call for a world summit to
end the killing.
In an interview last week
and in a speech here before
an annual Israel Bonds Elie
Wiesel Holocaust Remem-
brance Award Dinner, he
also called for the worldwide
Jewish community to pay at-
tention to the suffering in
the war-torn region.
Mr. Wiesel, who returned
last week, went to in-
vestigate the ravages of the
former Yugoslavia, where
more than 100,000 people,
nearly all unarmed
civilians, have been killed
and more than 2 million
have been driven from their
homes since the conflict
began in June 1991.
While the violence has
largely been spurred by the
Serbian ethnic cleansing
campaign, heavy casualties
have been sustained by all
sides.
Part witness and part dip-
lomat, Mr. Wiesel said he
also went to give comfort
and consolation to the Bos-
nian people.
The man who embodies the
voice of survivors was un-
willing to liken what he saw
to the Nazi Holocaust, say-
ing he was "suspicious" of
any attempts at such com-
parisons and suggesting
each situation was unique.
"I have seen hate in my
life, but the hate that exists
there today is incom-
parable," he said. "I don't
think it has an analogy
anywhere.
"People are killing one an-
other without knowing why
because hate is irrational,"
he said. He described the
citizens of Sarajevo, the
Bosnian capital, as over-
whelmed by a "feeling of
futility and mean-
inglessness."
Mr. Wiesel said the situa-
tion is "insoluble" unless
there is pressure to end the
violence from the outside.
While he offers no solutions,
he said he has "grandiose
ideas" of a visit to Sarajevo
by either President Bush or
President-elect Bill Clinton,
and a summit of interna-
tional leaders.
"I am convinced in every
fiber of my being the death
will stop, at least for a little
while."
In the absence of such a
summit, he suggested a
meeting of the U.N. Security
Council in Sarajevo.
Mr. Wiesel said it is in-
cumbent upon Jews to raise
their voices against the
tragedy and give human-
itarian aid.
"I have criticized and
accused and blamed so many
leaders in the free world" for
remaining apathetic in the
face of the Holocaust, he
said.
"I don't think we should be
accused" now of the same
apathy, he added.
At the Israel Bonds dinner,
Mr. Wiesel painted a bleak
picture of the world, saying
these are "dangerous
times."
He pointed to the rise of
neo-Nazi violence in Ger-
many, saying that country
"has abdicated its right to

claim innocence by saying it
all happened in the past.
"No one can tell me all
those Nazis all of a sudden
came out," he said. "Where
were they?"
He said Germany's recent
downward slide began with
the insistence by German
Chancellor Helmut Kohl
that former President
Reagan visit the Bitburg
cemetery, where Nazis are
buried. "That was Kohl's
way to whitewash" German
history, said Mr. Wiesel.
Mr. Wiesel said last week
on ABC's "Nightline" pro-
gram that he was compelled
to make the journey to
Bosnia because "of the prin-
ciple guiding my life, not to
stand idly by."
On the program, he said it
might require force to break
the siege of six cities, but it
would have to be force com-
bined with diplomacy.
"I'm convinced that a spec-
tacular gesture on the level
of summitry will stop the
war there," he said. "And
nothing else will do it be-
cause if not, there will be
many, many more deaths."
