Isn't Holocaust survivor Elie Weisel right?

"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."

Elie Wiesel

Do not mistake germany with nazi germany...it was a time when fear filled the streets of germany and no one was safe except for the nazi's...So Germans and Nazi's are two completly diffrent things

Elie Wiesel never said that. If you do a google search, you can see that quote can only be found on web pages of anti-semetic groups.

Elie Wiesel teaches love not hate. he doesn't blame the German people for what happened to him, and he certainly does not condone hatred of an entire nation.

ask the jewish people here in germany. there are 1000s and they are here because they've been treated good by the most germans. stupid racistic a++holes been all over the world, also here in germany. i saw 3 hours ago a tv discussion with jewish people in my hometown cologne. they say something like "we are not anymore jewish people in germany. we are now again german jews!"
one of the people there, dany levi who made a comedy movie about hitler a few month ago, ( http://www.meinfuehrer-derfilm.de )says, he is glad the the critics dont handle him with kid gloves only because he is jew.


ps. i have to add, that "slave of 12 Gods" is NOT right, hitlers grand mother was NOT jewish.

I know many Jews who hold nothing against people of Germany or of German descent.

I've met some Germans, and they really were racist.

I've also met some Greek and they were racist too.

I don't know if the rest of Europe is as Politically Correct as the US, Canada, and now, Great Britain.

I wonder how the Germans feel now that Hitler removed all the white Jews and now they have to deal with Middle Eastern Muslims.

sure - if your a racist! his words are pure assumptions and generalizations - I guess Mr.Wiesel then has no words for what is now happening to many innocent Palestinian children, huh?by Jewish hands no less! we are all boiling in the same kettle! NO EXCEPTIONS
please spare me the the whining ! my family got killed by Germans NAZI pigs, Italians , Turks , Persians ........ so I should sit there and hold a grudge? no way dude ,life is short and every one that does not do harm is my friend no matter what was in their past or who they might be! to not look aside and keep hanging on to old stories is like rewarming a pork chop over and over again! that meat will get more rotten as it goes on! Hitler's grand mother was a Jew( A WELL KNOWN FACT I MIGHT ADD) so he no less was one as well! how come he killed his own? he was from Austria - NOT GERMANY! and if you look around my friend , how many nations are being brainwashed into something just to start trouble! I'm sure you can name a few yourself!

there for- Mr.Wiesel is racist for what he is assuming is still the case! END OF STORY
