Eli Wiesel

I never believe anything this man says. The BHL's scandal reminds one of the big fat lie that Norman Finkelstein caught Wiesel in, when the latter claimed that he had read Kant's Critique of Pure Reason in Yiddish, when no such translation existed at the time. Most importantly, I would sell half of my book collection if Wiesel can understand 10% of that book. So Wiesel appeared in court and in the media to say that his savings and his foundation's money were wiped out by Madoff. But yesterday, Wiesel had a full page ad in the NYT.
