Never Again: A Holocaust Memorial - with Elie Wiesel and Abraham Foxman

Holocaust Memorial Week,which commemorates the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis, is May 1-8. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps. NEVER AGAIN: A HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL: is a one hour special that includes Larry Josephson's recent interview with ELIE WIESEL, a Holocaust survivor and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on behalf of humanity. Wiesel barely survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald. He is the author of "Night," a deeply personal memoir of his time in the camps. ABRAHAM FOXMAN, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, tells of another story of survival. He was taken as an infant by his Polish nanny, baptized and raised as a Catholic. He was reunited with his parents after the war. We also hear from a woman who recounts in vivid detail her arrival in Auschwitz, and her encounter with the infamous Dr. Mengele. Josephson asks Wiesel whether we are born wired for evil and genocide, or is it learned? Elie Wiesel reads an excerpt from his Nobel acceptance speech: "....There is so much to be done, there is so much more that can be done. One person... a Martin Luther King, Jr. - one person of integrity can make a difference, a difference of life or death." This powerful program is intended for all listeners, Jew or Gentile, concerned with human rights and genocide, which has continued unabated since the Holocaust--from Cambodia to Bosnia to Rwanda. The program ends with a startling statistic: had there been no Holocaust, there would now be 26 to 32 million Jews in the world today, instead of 13 million. NOTE: The program is timeless. Holocaust Memorial Week is not mentioned. The 60th anniversary is mentioned, so the program can be run until 4/30/2006.
