GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
Moreover, his decision to leave Auschwitz with the Nazis rather
than be liberated by the Russians suggests that he considered the Nazis
to be preferable, hardly an attitude for a prisoner in a death camp. In
Night he claims the Russians liberated Auschwitz two days after he was
evacuated to Buchenwald; 8 in All Rivers Run to the Sea he says it was
nine days later. 9 The difference matters little for a novel, but Wiesel has
sworn under oath that what he said in Night is historical truth. “It is a
true account. Every word in it is true.” 10
Wiesel told Francois Mauriac (and Mauriac’s account is related in
the preface to Night) that he “had seen his mother, a beloved little sister,
and most of his family, except his father and two other sisters, disappear
in a furnace fueled by living creatures.” 11 Later he admits that he did not
know how or when his mother and sister perished. Certainly there were
no furnaces at Auschwitz fueled by living creatures; there and at every
other prison camp run by the Third Reich crematoria were fueled by
coal gas.
It is also ironic that the Wieselian narrative makes little mention of
the most diabolical execution machine attributed to the Third Reich,
namely homicidal gas chambers. In Night he first uses the word
“gassed” on page 68 and then not again. He describes beating, shooting,
hanging, flaming pits, exhaustion, forced labor, cold, and starvation, but
no gas chambers – not even rumors. Why? Is this omission another
simple oversight or could the revisionists’ third contention indeed have
validity?
In the preface to the new translation of Night Wiesel claims, “Ilse
Koch, the notorious sadistic monster of Buchenwald, was allowed to
have children and live happily ever after.” Yet the truth is that Koch
was sentenced to life in prison where she hung herself in 1967. Why
does Elie repeat such an easily refuted lie? Why does his publisher refuse
to correct it, saying only that Night is our most profitable book?
Why is Wiesel’s narrative “self-evident” when it is so easily proved to
be false?
Wiesel claims infants were thrown alive into fiery ditches, although
the Yad Vashem-trained guides at the Auschwitz Memorial say no such
