Dear Friends of the Bryant Service Club,
Received your fine gift yesterday. Although it had been sent via Virginia and detoured through Jefferson Barracks, I received in time for Xmas in good shape. I wish to thank you very much for your thoughtfullness [sic].
While in J. B. I had the pleasure of living in the same barracks with one of our Bryant Alumni, Robert Bernstein. It was a very happy reunion.
I hope that you all have had an enjoyable holliday [sic] and that the new year brings you much success.
Yours sincerely,Charles A. Wiesel[Transcription ends

No full textA Wiesel (Menyét) egy könnyű páncélozott lánctalpas járműplatform, amelynek bázisán felderítő-, vezetési-, harctámogató és kiszolgáló feladatok ellátásra különböző típusváltozatokat fejlesztettek ki. A típusváltozatok méretükben is különböznek, a kisebb a Wiesel 1, a nagyobb a Wiesel 2. A Rheinmetall Landsysteme AG – a Rheinmetall AG leányvállalata – által gyártott lánctalpas harcjárművet csak a Bundeswehr szárazföldi haderőneme rendszeresítette, illetve 7 db-ot a US Army szerezett be. A harcjárművet német területen fegyverhordozónak nevezik (WaTrg – Waffenträger)

Dear Friends:
I received your delicious package of cookies about an hour ago but they are only a pleasant memory now. They were very much appreciated and enjoyed. Thank you all for your generous gift.
We have a marvelous K.P. system here. The table[s] are all set and food is there waiting for us when we arrive. When we have exhausted the supply of food on the table, we merely signal a K. P. who takes the serving trays & plates up to the kitchen for refilling. Usually the K.P.s will walk around asking, “are you gentlemen in need of anything—can I get you something else?” Very soon I, too, will be asking these same questions.
The authorities do not allow us to divulge the name of the school or the nature of the course. However, I will be applying some of my training that I had received at Bryant. I understand logic is the most important thing that I do need. Time will tell whether or not I possess this.
I wish you all a very successful future and I again thank you for your thoughtfulness.
Yours sincerely, Charles A. Wiesel [Transcription ends

The Jews of Silence: A Personal Report on Soviet Jewry
No full textIn the fall of 1965 the Israeli newspaper Haaretz sent a young journalist named Elie Wiesel to the Soviet Union to report on the lives of Jews trapped behind the Iron Curtain. “I would approach Jews who had never been placed in the Soviet show window by Soviet authorities,” wrote Wiesel. “They alone, in their anonymity, could describe the conditions under which they live; they alone could tell whether the reports I had heard were true or false—and whether their children and their grandchildren, despite everything, still wish to remain Jews. From them I would learn what we must do to help . . . or if they want our help at all.” What he discovered astonished him: Jewish men and women, young and old, in Moscow, Kiev, Leningrad, Vilna, Minsk, and Tbilisi, completely cut off from the outside world, overcoming their fear of the ever-present KGB to ask Wiesel about the lives of Jews in America, in Western Europe, and, most of all, in Israel. They have scant knowledge of Jewish history or current events; they celebrate Jewish holidays at considerable risk and with only the vaguest ideas of what these days commemorate. “Most of them come [to synagogue] not to pray,” Wiesel writes, “but out of a desire to identify with the Jewish people—about whom they know next to nothing.” Wiesel promises to bring the stories of these people to the outside world. And in the home of one dissident, he is given a gift—a Russian-language translation of Night, published illegally by the underground. “‘My God,’ I thought, ‘this man risked arrest and prison just to make my writing available to people here!’ I embraced him with tears in my eyes.”https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/dlpp_all/1229/thumbnail.jp
Critical Comparative Approaches to Testimonial Literature Emergent from the Holocaust and the Atomic Bombings
No full textThe thesis offers a critical comparative reading of testimonial literature emergent from the Holocaust and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Through identifying aspects of thematic and stylistic commonality between these literatures, this thesis aims towards establishing a series of narrative traits that characterise the testimonial genre. This comparative stance informs the structure of the thesis, in that each chapter deals with examples of testimonies emergent from the Holocaust and the atomic bombings. Chapter one engages with the history of autobiography criticism and genre theory, and through close readings of both testimonial and autobiographical works by Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel, posits areas of potential difference between the two forms of life-writing. The traditional understanding of the autobiographical contract, as defined by Philippe Lejeune, is challenged through a comparative analysis of the way in which the self is constructed in Holocaust and A-bomb testimonies. Chapter two focuses on the narrative challenges posed by the encounter with trauma. Informed by structuralist theories of language and critical readings of testimonial writing, this chapter examines the way in which the experience of trauma intensifies the arbitrary nature of the relationship between language and experience, to the extent that language appears to fail. Drawing on Blanchot's theory of the communicative possibilities of silence, the thematic and stylistic representation of silence, in its many forms, is considered in the context of Holocaust and A-bomb testimonies. Chapter three explores the representation of the female experience in testimonial texts. Beginning with Cixous' and Irigaray's theories of écriture féminine and fémininité as an interpretative lens with which to approach women's narratives, this chapter considers the way in which women's testimonies are influenced by both a poetics of gender and a poetics of trauma

Elie Wiesel and the Biblical Archetypes of the Contemporary Middle East
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from De Gruyter via the DOI in this record.This article focuses on two newspaper advertisements written by the Holocaust survivor and author Elie Wiesel that were published shortly before his death in 2016. These controversial advertisements, published in the US and UK, addressed recent tensions in the Middle East with reference to the books of 2 Kings and Esther. The article explores Wiesel’s relationship to contemporary politics, traditions of biblical interpretation, and ideas of sacred temporality. I argue that these advertisements present a vivid case study of the potential difficulties posed by framing contemporary conflicts via biblical archetypes. Specifically, I suggest that they challenge us to develop an awareness of instances in which biblical reception can mythologize suffering by subsuming novel and complex events into premeditated narratives
