With consternation, Elie Wiesel, a tear in his eye,
realises that everything is now revised, beginning with himself. The sign he has
to hold up reads “Je suis Faurisson”. Faurisson has written much on the individual,
especially a 1986 article entitled A prominent false witness: Elie Wiesel.
Near the lower left-hand corner one will note the registration
number that Elie Wiesel claimed had been his at Auschwitz and which, after
verification, proved to be that of Lazar Wiesel. A fine little identity theft!
Those who wish to “do something for revisionism” might
perhaps, in their spare time, carry out mailings or postings of this cartoon
either in colour or in black and white.
Even a Pierre Vidal-Naquet denounced the impostor:
Elie Wiesel […]
will say just any rubbish […] It’s enough to read a certain description in Night
to realise that some of his descriptions are not accurate and that he ends up
turning himself into a Shoah merchant […] Well, he too has done wrong, and an
immense wrong, to the historical truth (Zéro, April 1987, p. 57).
