A. It is unlikely that Elie Wiesel has correctly identified himself in the famous photograph.B. It is unlikely that Elie Wiesel is the boy in the picture of the marching orphans.C. It is unlikely that Elie Wiesel and his father arrived at Buchenwald in the same transport
as Miklos Grner, as he claims.
D. It is questionable that the Elie Wiesel we know, or his father, was ever interned at eitherAuschwitz-Birkenau-Monowitz or Buchenwald concentration camps.
E. Elie Wiesel needs to back up his careless and contradictory statements with proof, just
like any other public figure is required to do when challenged.
F:
1. Actually, it was ready and waiting to be turned over to the United States militaryauthorities whenever they arrived.
2. The highly regarded British historian Martin Gilbert doesnt mention Wiesel orMermelstein as being in the picture in The Macmillan Atlas of the Holocaust, published
by him in 1982. He writes of it, The photograph, taken on the day of the liberation of
Dachau, shows some of the survivors of death marches and evacuation trains 3. Samuel G. Freedman, Bearing Witness: The Life and Work of Elie Wiesel, NYT,
October 23, 1983.
4. The July 26, 1985 Billings Gazette published an Associated Press photo showing
Mermelstein holding the famous photo with the caption: Mermelstein poses with aphotograph showing himself on a bunk in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
5. In his book Stolen Identity, Grner gives an explanation on page 28. He writes that as the
inmates of Block 66 were being marched toward the gate (before liberation), he faked anemergency need to relieve himself and ran to the first barrack he could reach, which
turned out to be #56. There he laid down in a bunk where he remained. No way to verify
this, but Elie Wiesel gives no explanation at all for why he was there. Of course, since hesays he was gravely ill in the hospital at the time the picture was taken, he could not be in
two places at once.
6. He had an older brother and a sister who survived the camps, with whom he was put in
contact after liberation. Both moved to Malmo , Sweden . (Stolen Identity, p. 29.)
