New Web site exposes Elie Wiesel -Carolyn Yeager

A new CODOH Web site challenges Elie Wiesel on his Auschwitz tattoo and on other identity issues.

By Carolyn Yeager

I Con the World

Elie Wiesel has conned the world into seeing him as the next best thing to God, as someone who has risen above it all, as someone who is capable or has earned the right to pass judgment on the rest of humanity. What has earned him this right is clearly his suffering during the year he was held in German camps and his “powerful prose” in describing it.

Venerated and billed as “the world’s most famous Holocaust survivor” and a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars every year in speaking fees (at $25,000 a pop it might be closer to say a million), and holding a prestigious, but undemanding six-figure professorship in Humanities at Boston University, Elie Wiesel has never been asked to show any proof that he is what he says he is.

Everything written about Elie Wiesel that this writer can find skims over the details and dwells on the emotionality of Holocaust, humanity and hate. Among the many unnerving quotations from Elie concerning the h-word is this one, found preceding an essay in the Jewish Daily Forward of June 9th by Anita Epstein, titled “Why I Cannot Forgive Germany:” (1)

“I cannot and I do not want to forgive the killers of children; I ask God not to forgive.”
—Elie Wiesel

Ms. Epstein is influenced (or inspired?) by Wiesel to hold onto hate by holding on to the holocaust legends, such as the one about “Germans” throwing babies off of balconies. Another famous statement made by Elie is:

“Every Jew, somewhere in his being, should set apart a zone of hate – healthy virile hate – for what the German personifies and for what persists in the German. To do otherwise would be a betrayal of the dead.”

However, Elie’s actual presence in the Auschwitz “death camp” and the Buchenwald concentration camp during 1944-45 rests solely on the claims of the New York Times and his well-promoted books, the most famous being his first one, Night, published in 1955 in Buenos Aires. That’s an interesting story in itself, but here I will limit myself to a chronology of NYT features on Elie that coincide with his advancing fortunes.

On May 6, 1945, the New York Times published the now famous photograph of the “Crowded Bunks in the Prison Camp at Buchenwald” without identifying anyone in the picture. Further use of the picture follows.

  • October 1983, it was published again in the high circulation Sunday NYT Magazine with this caption: “On April 11, 1945, American troops liberated the concentration camp’s survivors, including Elie, who later identified himself as the man circled in the photo.”(2) (Wiesel says he is the last one on top row in this cropped version of the picture)

Wiesel had never claimed to be in this picture before, and this face is not the face of a 16-year-old boy, nor does it resemble an existing portrait of Elie before he was deported. But, the article included the statement: His name has been frequently mentioned as a possible recipient of a Nobel Prize, for either peace or literature.” So we suspect it was part of the campaign being waged to win him a Nobel Prize.

As David O’Connell has written in “Elie Wiesel and the Catholics,”(3) the NYT had manufactured history by declaring erroneously that Wiesel is seen in the picture, even though Wiesel had stated over the years that he was in the sick bay at Buchenwald on April 16, the day the photograph was taken.

  • October 14, 1986. The Nobel award was announced.

  • November 2, 1986. The NYTimes again republished a severely cropped version of the Buchenwald photo with the caption: “Elie Wiesel, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize (at far right in the top bunk) in the Buchenwald concentration camp in April 1945, when the camp was liberated by American troops.” (4)

  • January 4, 1987. The NYT erroneously claimed that Wiesel had been “freed from Auschwitz” during the war. (5)

  • January 18, 1988. The NYT wrote on the occasion of his trip to Auschwitz: “Mr. Wiesel was a prisoner at Auschwitz and witnessed the killing there of his father and one of his sisters.” (6) But, according to Wiesel’s account (no records), his father died in Buchenwald. However, the NYT knew that Auschwitz was a familiar Holocaust “keyword” to its readers, while Buchenwald was not.

More confusion:

  • June 3, 1987, the Chicago Tribune published a photo of Wiesel, accompanied by two other men, standing in front of a blown-up version of the picture and pointing to himself in it. The caption read: “Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel points to a picture of himself, taken by a German at the Auschwitz death camp in 1945. The photograph is part of the Holocaust Memorial in Lyon, France.”(7)

  • April 21, 1995, Wiesel told the German weekly Die Zeit that the picture had actually been taken the day after the liberation, that is, on April 12, 1945, not on April 11, as he had always implied. (It was actually taken on April 16.) He also said, “On the day after the liberation the picture was taken in the Children’s Block at Buchenwald by an American soldier. It shows old men. But these old faces are the faces of men who, in truth, were 15 or 16 years of age like I was.” (8)

There is much more to the story of this photograph, but that must be sufficient for now.

Counter Claims

In March 2009, fellow Hungarian Jew Miklos (Nikolaus) Grüner’s accusation that Elie Wiesel is an imposter broke onto the Internet, mainly via an article(9) on Henry Makow’s website that he picked up from a Hungarian website.(10) Naturally, it didn’t get much coverage in the media, even though Grüner had documents from both Auschwitz and Buchenwald to back him up, including undisputed records that show him registered as a prisoner in both camps. Back in January 2003, Grüner had issued an “international press release to the world” from his home in Sweden:

Elie Wiesel A-7713 has never existed, and the man claiming himself to be “Elie Wiesel” with the concentration camp number A-7713, knowing full well that this number belonged to someone else, is an imposter of the worst kind. For this statement, I, Nikolaus Grüner A-11104, have certified and written knowledge of. (11)

In a press release of 2006, Grüner states: “I […] take full responsibility in revealing that the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize winner “ELIE WIESEL” has been impersonating Lazar Wiesel A-7713 who was born 1913 in Marmaros, Hungary. Further more I also state that the archives in Auschwitz and Buchenwald are missing evidence to prove that “ELIE,” known as A-7713, was ever registered as a prisoner in any German concentration camp at all.” (12)

The evidence Grüner presents is compelling, and can be found in an organized fashion in two articles written by Carlo Mattogno and posted at Inconvenient History Revisionist Blog (13) on Feb. 24 and March 26 of this year. One small piece of this evidence is that Elie Wiesel was born on Sept. 30, 1928, and another is that the ID number A-7713 was given out on 24 May, but Elie Wiesel says in his book Night that he wasn’t deported from Sighet (Marmaros) until after May 28, and possibly not until June 3, 1944.

But the most persuasive evidence to me is registration cards and other official documents from the Auschwitz Museum archives that show Lazar Wiesel, b. Sept. 4, 1913 received number (and tattoo) A-7713 and his brother, Abraham, b. Oct. 10, 1900 was given A-7712.

A-7712 is the number Elie claims belonged to his father Shlomo, who was with him. There are no such registration records for Elie and his father.

The situation at Buchenwald is similar and the evidence against Elie Wiesel being a survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald at all continues to build to a veritable mountain, all of which will be graphically presented and archived at a website that is now under construction and soon to open.

Where’s the tattoo?

Our new website will carry the theme “Where’s the tattoo?” – an idea originally suggested by a poster on the CODOH forum. We present this to viewers as a world-wide challenge and to encourage investigation and demand for answers. We will ask for independent efforts by diverse groups to work with film, Youtube videos, petitions and letter-writing campaigns to Universities, especially Elie’s employer, Boston University.

We will challenge those in the “mighty mainstream media” to force attention on this issue. Everyone—you—can act as an individual entrepreneur, make use of the information we will provide, contribute information to I Con The World, coordinate with us. Our spotlight on Elie Wiesel and the issue of who he really is will be intense and unrelenting. We are not talking about speaking in riddles here, but of evidence that is in-your-face … or in-his-face. We urge your participation, we urge you to recruit others by bringing I Con The World to their attention, by encouraging others to contribute in whatever way they can.

Watch for us. Get ready to help.

    Great idea Carolyn. My only suspicion is: If lying to the entire world hasn’t stopped Elie Weasel and cashing in on the whole affair, what would stop him from getting a tattoo if the water gets hot? It’s not like the Koshernostra at BU would dare suggest anyone tests the thing for authenticity.

  2. Carolyn on July 5th, 2010 11:16 pm

    It’s more complicated than that. He would only hurt himself more if he did that. You will see once it’s all laid out.

    Their only defense is to ignore us and keep it quiet, which is why people like you need to help us make a lot of noise about it. Do not fear that they have a card up their sleeve.

  3. A German on July 12th, 2010 6:13 am

    Carol you may be right with the Wiesel,
    but at the end it won’t effect anything,
    even if he will be exposed!

    The Jewish media will do the same they did with the
    “apple girl” and the “wolf girl”.

    Sweeping it under the carpet.
    As always.

    It was a lie! – “It was our ‘fantasy’!”
    *smiling into the camera*

    Case closed, as always in the Jewish media.

  4. Carolyn on July 12th, 2010 11:58 am

    Don’t think the ‘apple girl’ and the ‘wolf girl’ haven’t made a difference in many people’s thinking. They have. It’s a process that doesn’t happen overnight. Wiesel is much bigger than both of them together.

    Don’t be a defeatist. It’s not attractive. But it’s very German since 1947 or 8 or so. Maybe 1950, but at some point it settled in that it’s hopeless, so we just make the best of it. That’s what you’re always complaining about, isn’t it?

  5. A German on July 12th, 2010 3:25 pm

    Carol
    “Defeatist”???
    LOL
    “surrenda iz vor zhe veak! i.e. the French!”
    XD LOL

    Carol, the thing is just
    all these discoveries and debunkings just reach people like us!
    People who’re interested in the matter.
    Most people aren’t interested in the subject.
    I could right now go on the street and ask 100 people if they know Elie Wiesel. I bet 100 will deny!
    It’s not the Wiesel! He is just a small puzzle piece,
    It’s important to debunk the Holo in it’s oneness!

    All these stories of debunked survivors, pedophile rabbis, maddoffs don’t really reach the masses.
    And if it does, then the masses will quickly forget it again.
    They’re programmed like that, by the media etc.
    The Holo myth is so strong that all these holes in the story get quickly forgotten.

    You shouldn’t think out of our perpective.
    think from the perspective of John Doe who’s not highly educated and does not really have an interest for politics.

    That’s no defeatism, that’s realism!

    A German

    All information is accumulative.

    Step-by-step-by=step.

    You can hammer on the wall for years. One day you make it crack. One day you make it fall.

    The Jews spent centuries hoping, and have spent the last couple of centuries actively carrying forward the Jew World Order.

    Turning back the tide could take centuries. Or decades. Or years?

    Everything is accumulative.

    You write “The Hoaxico$t” and people’s minds rebel.

    Then, one day they see Finkelstein on, say, RT, and they ‘google’ him, and they see his ‘The Holocaust Industry”

    Somewhere in the back of their mind they remember something about the Hoaxico$t or the Holyhoax. All of a sudden, after reading H. Industry, it doesn’t seem so outrageous.

    Then they see the Jews lie about the Gaza Flotilla slaughter by the Jew-Pirates of the Mediterranean.

    Then they see the Jews lie about X, about Y, about the whole alphabet!

    All of a sudden, “Hoaxico$t” doesn’t seem so absurd or offensive.

  7. NeoCon Hysteria on July 13th, 2010 3:08 am

    Yes i agree. Dont be a defeatist. Its sickening and shows they have infected you with their cancer.

    Looking forward to the website.

  8. NeoCon Hysteria on July 13th, 2010 7:05 am

    ‘You can hammer on the wall for years. One day you make it crack. One day you make it fall.”

    This is a far cry from what you were writing a few days ago when you said theres no hope for Europeans and that we should all focus on reserving small niches of existence because the Jews control everything so theres no point. Does your world outlook change every other day?

  9. Akira on July 13th, 2010 2:20 pm

    NCH

    A true hysteriac, I see.

    You are comparing kumquats and durians.

    I said the US is mightily screwed, as is most of Western Europe, because they have rejected Christ, and are run by Slavemasons.

    I said that White people are screwed in terms of global population and running formerly/presently White countries, based on current demographic trends.

    Here I’m talking about the Hoaxico$t.

    This myth will be exploded, especially when the West is more heavily populated with Muslims, Arabs, Persians, Black Africans, Mexicans, etc — who don’t give a damn about “the poor Jews.”

    The situations are reversed.

    The Jew myth will be destroyed in the same way that the Jews and Slavemasons have destroyed the West and much of former Christendon: step by step by step.

    Pay attention.

    “This myth will be exploded, especially when the West is more heavily populated with Muslims, Arabs, Persians, Black Africans, Mexicans, etc — who don’t give a damn about “the poor Jews.”

    No it wont. Aside from the Persians those people cant even read. How are they going to ‘explode’ the myth when they cant read? Absurd. The mexicans are purposely being brought to America because they’re illiterate, uneducated workers who are clueless about the financial structure. They’re being used as fresh meat against an awakened American middle Class who is ready to start burning down banks.

    Middle Class Americans are going to destroy the Jewish deathgrip. Not illiterate mexicans who can only think of two things.. money and babies. Ask any mexican who his enemy is, he will tell you “the racist white tea party” not the Jews. lol?

    Black Africans are going to explode the Jewish Banking Cartel? They cant even organize a recovery plan to rebuild after an Earthquake. What gives you this idea?

    And the Arabs cant do anything accept cry and complain.

    I’ve gone over this before. The Muslims are too busy fighting against eachother. Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt are working with Israel to suppress Iran. The Shia’s and Sunni’s hate eachother. Saudi Arabia would LOVE to see Iran burn in flames.

    The ZOG power is diminishing rapidly in the West due to the rise of the new right and a highly enlightened middle class both on the right and the left.. not because of Muslim immigration. Thats ridiculous. Orthodox Russia is back offering an alternative to Europe both economically and culturally.

    Clearly you dont pay attention to Vatican and Orthodox current events. Because we’re in the middle of seeing The Holy Roman Empire II being constructed right before our very eyes.. and all you can talk about is Africans and Muslims. ha ha

    The Jews burnt all of their bridges under Bush and exposed themselves to the average moderate American who is now asking himself… “who the f**k is AIPAC?”

    “US is mightily screwed, as is most of Western Europe, because they have rejected Christ”

    You watch too much kosher television. I guess i’d think that too if all i ever watched was PBS and TMZ. You repeat all their kosher ‘death of the west’ garbage point for point.

    Elie Wiesel Cons the World will confront contradictions and what

    the world’s most famous Holocaust survivor, and expose those that
    are demonstrably false, oftentimes on the face of it. It will
    question Wiesel on key testimony where Holocaust scholars have
    failed to question him at all.

    Elie Wiesel presents himself as an advocate for free speech even as
    he calls for the criminalization of what he calls “Holocaust denial”
    in every European and Anglo-American nation. This is a disturbing
    contradiction in itself. By raising the right questions, this
    website becomes an important voice in the search for truth about
    Holocaust and Holocaust testimony.

    Me: “This [Hoaxico$t] myth will be exploded, especially when the West is more heavily populated with Muslims, Arabs, Persians, Black Africans, Mexicans, etc — who don’t give a damn about “the poor Jews.”

    Response: Hysterical Neo-Con: “No it wont. Aside from the Persians those people cant even read.”

    – I realize I’m demeaning myself by responding to your idiocy, but anyone who says that Muslims, Arabs, Black Africans, Mexicans, etc [i.e. Koreans, Chinese, Japanese...] are illiterate might as well just have a Dunce Cap crazy-glued on top of his head.

    Hysterical Neo-Con: “Middle Class Americans are going to destroy the Jewish deathgrip.”

    – How’s that going to happen when the middle-class keeps shrinking?

    Hysterical Neo-Con: “Black Africans are going to explode the Jewish Banking Cartel?”

    – I was specifically referring to the Hoaxico$t, you illiterate. Only dumb Whites lose sleep about the bloody Hoaxico$t.

    Hysterical Neo-Con: “Arabs cant do anything accept cry and complain.”

    – And take over much of urban Western Europe.

    Hysterical Neo-Con: “Orthodox Russia is back offering an alternative to Europe both economically and culturally. Clearly you dont pay attention to Vatican and Orthodox current events. Because we’re in the middle of seeing The Holy Roman Empire II being constructed right before our very eyes”

    If the Orthodox unite with the Anti-Chist Vatican, then obviously they’d no longer be Orthodox Christians.

    Hysterical Neo-Con: ” “US is mightily screwed, as is most of Western Europe, because they have rejected Christ” — You watch too much kosher television. I guess i’d think that too if all i ever watched was PBS and TMZ. You repeat all their kosher ‘death of the west’ garbage point for point.”

    – Nothing I say is “kosher” and I don’t even own a Talmud-Vision idiot-box. The West is predominantly Masonic, Judaic, Jewey, Anti-Christ, Sodomitic, Usurious, etc. etc. etc.

    Hysterical Neo-Con: “Moscows Patriarch Kirill honors Pope Benedict XVI with a special concert”

    – Further evidence that Kirill is not a Christian.

    I’m amazed anyone could be conned by either of those two.

    The guy on the left is a buffoon, and the guy on the right is a psychopath.

  17. NeoCon Hysteria on July 23rd, 2010 7:11 am

    @ JohnUK

    They’re definitely attempting to stop any sort of Orthodox/Catholic dialog. Infact this is one of the Jews biggest concerns in Europe right now. They know an alliance between the two would represent a Christian powerhouse in Europe that would threaten the EU economically, if not make it totally obsolete. Thus changing the dynamics of mainland Europe and Jewish power inside many different sectors.

    Almost all of mainland Europe is Catholic. I say mainland because Kosher England makes a loud point about being separate from its European family. Poland is 95% Catholic. Germany is playing it smartly by attempting to include Poland and France in its policies with Orthodox Russia. Both of which have become more and more open to the idea. Something that Kosher DC and the Jewish Press Mafia have tried everything in their power over the last few years to sabotage with fearmongering and out right Cold War style threats of forward Missile deployments and corporate warfare (see Opel).

    The good news is none of hollywood drama is working. What better proof then France selling warships to Moscow after the Georgia incident? Its not the warships that matter.. its a direct slap in the face of DC, London and Tel Aviv. Thats the issue.

    Germany’s official policy is to bring Orthodox Russia into European affairs as an equal partner. They just cant show overwhelming enthusiasm about it.. but make no mistake both the Left and Right in Germany have made this their goal.

    The CIA was also involved in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church drama last year. Attempting to stir up a fake ’separation’ from the Russian Orthodox Church. It lasted about 1 week. A complete joke that showed how clumsy and ridiculously out of touch they are with the local population.

    There are plenty more CIA/Mossad annoyances regarding this issue, as im sure you are well aware of. All you have to do is watch RT News and you’ll hear all about them (for the most part).

    @ Akira

    Are you white? you sound like a complete phony. I never really got an answer before. Are you?

  18. NeoCon Hysteria on July 23rd, 2010 7:35 am

    Great website Carolyn, its cleanly laid out and i like the quick humor.

    “never underestimate the power of comedy as an effective weapon against your enemy” – some jew on PBS talking about Jewish comedians

    I’ll do some SEO work on it over the weekend to boost its search engine ratings.

  19. Carolyn on July 23rd, 2010 10:54 am

    Akira,

    Great picture. Thanks.

    It was clear that EW was the boss when the two met at Buchenwald last year for the holy commemoration. There you could clearly see Obama, and Merkel too, being stage managed by Elie.

    IMO, the people who are conned are all those Talmudvision watchers. Have you noticed you can hardly go anywhere in the world without there being a television in every room turned on to cable news or sports. It “links” us all together, doesn’t it?

    Even those who say they only watch it “to find out what’s going on” are being corrupted by the glorious, big-screen technicolor, life-like images. It’s best to drop it altogether. Everything can be learned on the Internet, where *you* are in control.

  20. Chris on July 24th, 2010 12:18 am

    Akira, I note how you snuck in the intelligent non-whites into your “etc”. Without that, Neocon Hysteria’s point holds.

  21. James on July 25th, 2010 11:45 pm

    Yes the one eyed monster is perhaps the worse thing ever invented.
