New Releases by Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel, Lucy Dawidowicz, Dorothy Rabinowitz, and Robert McAfee Brown explore society''s inability to comprehend the horrors of the Holocaust, and its unwillingness to remember. Annotated by Elliot Lefkovitz, educational consultant for the Holocaust Memorial Foundation of Illinois, this edition contains extensive documentation of ideas and facts that have surfaced since the book''s first appearance in 1977.

Moderated by Gabe Pressman, Wiesel and Cardinal O''Connor discuss several issues, including the religious meaning of the Holocaust; the Vatican''s position during the Holocaust; the moral aspect of the phenomenon of Holocaust denial; antisemitism and Jewish-Catholic relations; anti-Zionism; Arab-Israeli relations; and whether it was proper for the Pope to meet with Arafat and Waldheim.
