It's a damn shame that this even has to be a thread.

The Holocaust: A Tragic Legacy - What

Former Buchenwald prisoners - Elie Wiesel's face is visible on the second row, seventh from the left, by the vertical wooden beam. (The enlargement will shows him better.)

Wiesel worked for the Allies in the camp after it was liberated. There are records and photos of him being there, being liberated and improving while working for the Allied command. It is documented by US Military in the Film I Have Never Forgotten You: The Life & Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal (2007)

There are archives with images that show the horrors. There are records of Wiesel and others being signed up to testify at early Nazi trials. It is all there, and there are also -- the Nazi's records.

Elie Wiesel leaving Buchenwald camp, April 27, 1945

The photo above shows Elie Wiesel walking out of the Buchenwald camp on April 27, 1945. He is the tall boy, the fourth from the front on the left side of the column of orphan boys.

In his book entitled "Night," Elie wrote that he became sick three days after the camp was liberated on April 11, 1945 and was in the hospital for two weeks.

In a book entitled "The Children of Buchenwald" by Judith Hemmendinger and Robert Krell, there are the stories of 31 of the orphan boys at Buchenwald, including the story of Elie Wiesel in Chapter 11.

On page 54 of the book is this footnote:

Romek and Abram in Block 8 were unaware that Block 66 held the children at liberation. They thought themselves the only two children in Buchenwald.

The authors also mention on page 113 that Block 66 was the barrack for the orphan boys at Buchenwald.

On this web site, Jewish professor Ken Walzer is quoted as follows, regarding the orphans at Buchenwald:

Among the older boys was Eliezer Wiesel from Sighet, Rumania, who was protected in block 66 with hundreds of others.

We can't tell who or what originally published it, or even when it was first published. It just suddenly appeared, on a number of internet websites, within a two-day period.

Who published the article ("English Language Exclusive!" -- of who? "our Budapest Bureau" -- of what)?
