did people know about Auschwitz and
Treblinka, in America and throughout
the world, and when did they know
it?")
And perhaps because this text is
directed toward any audience (not
small children, of course, but certainly
older ones), the material is often sim-
plified:
"Roosevelt and Winston Churchill
knew a great deal, but chose to say —
and do — nothing about it. Yes, it is
true: they were fighting the most
urgent of wars against Hider and his
armies. But at the same time, it must
be said that the fate of the European
Jews did not unduly trouble them."
Still, Wiesel is a master when it
comes to presenting a concept, an
image, a moment. No one who has

author chose to eat on Yom Kippur, or
how he regarded himself as he looked
in the mirror after the war.
Here, too, Wiesel leaves us with a
bit of magic, a spark of pure brilliance.
How does he end this book? Not
with despair, or political arguments or
a lecture about "Never Again."
Instead, he speaks of how a single sur-
vivor — Wiesel himself — spoke at
West Point on "The Meaning of
Freedom."
That evening, Wiesel told the
cadets, "I have always wanted to say
thank you to the soldiers who wore
your uniform, to thank them for sav-
ing my life." And then he spoke of
Buchenwald, and his liberation.
"Yes," Wiesel writes, "this is a story of
memory, but also one of gratitude." ❑

ou've always known they're
man's best friend. But did
you know the remarkable job
dogs are doing for Israelis?
Glenn Yago of Los Angeles is
the founder of Pups for Peace, a
nonprofit, nonsectarian organi-
zation that trains dogs to help
combat terrorists in Israel.
The organization was founded one
year ago in response to the increased
number of suicide bombings in Israel.
Labradors, Belgian malinois and
German shepherds are first trained at
a private camp in the United States
where, using simulated scenarios, they
learn to sniff out bomb-wielding ter-
rorists. The dogs are later taken to
Israel, where they receive further
instruction from Israeli security,
including the Israel Defense Forces.
Pups for Peace also has in the works
a new training center in the Golan
Heights.
