He was 87. It was bound to happen some day.

Who are you quoting?

>>8236661

You mean the compulsive liar?

>>8236672
kys, faggot

we talked about how he's a fucking holocaust industry fraud yesterday.

elie wiesel was a piece of shit profiteer with a fitting name.

Wiesel tells a story about a visit to a Rebbe, a Hasidic rabbi, he had not seen for 20 years. The Rebbe is upset to learn that Wiesel has become a writer, and wants to know what he writes. "Stories," Wiesel tells him, " ... true stories":

About people you knew? "Yes, about people I might have known." About things that happened? "Yes, about things that happened or could have happened." But they did not? "No, not all of them did. In fact, some were invented from almost the beginning to almost the end." The Rebbe leaned forward as if to measure me up and said with more sorrow than anger: That means you are writing lies! I did not answer immediately. The scolded child within me had nothing to say in his defense. Yet, I had to justify myself: "Things are not that simple, Rebbe. Some events do take place but are not true; others are—although they never occurred."

^^ this says all i need to know about weasel

he was a one trick pony
>muh 6 garillion
Yeah yeah yeah nobody suffers like Jew do

Not sure of the source, but it could be something Weisel said.
Why is everyone on him about this "holocaust industry?"

I've read quite a few of his novels, I never once cracked one open and thought I was being told anything but fiction.

>>8236765
this, I'm pretty sure the forward to Night even talks about how some stuff was embellished or mad up

>>8236661
They're still in morning for the King of Man-children, The Duke Dave of Headbandia

>Novelist writes fictions
>Frogmen: LIAR!

>>8236661
Never read him, even though I'm jewish.
But that's the beauty of 4chan - want to know if people are racist? just ask. nobody gives a shit.

yo lit, how antisemitic are you?

>>8236902
I think Ashkenazi Jews are weird inbred schizophrenic geniuses who make great intellectuals and philosophers but also effeminate nepotistic cunts who worship giant piles of Jew shoes at Auschwitz because they have it burned into their brains that JEWS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER, OY VEY THE TRIBE! THESE JEW SHOES ARE WORTH MORE THAN A THOUSAND GOYIM!

>>8236914
So. How long have you felt this way about your sister, anon?

>>8236837

Ah. I never went.

Remember The Blair Witch Project?

>>8236677
>>8236715
I thought he was a writer of fiction not a historian

we have countless other reports of the holocaust anyway

>>8236765
i copy and pasted it from wikipedia,

very bottom

We had a thread yesterday. I recounted a silly anecdote in which my high school classmate compared public schools to the nazi regime during our Night discussion. Thanks for the laughs, Elie.

It is not widely known that the book is fiction, and Wiesel doesn't even really flat-out call it that either. Rather he fills in gaps with events and atrocities that he thinks "could have happened" based on his opinion of the enemy. The thing that bothers me, whether it was intentional or not isnt important at this point, is that it meddles the truth when even trying to have a civilized discussion about the holocaust.

do you know who else is a fucking trojan war industry fraud

Homer

he was a piece of shit compulsive liar and profiteer with a fitting name (because of the dumb yellow homer)

>>8236961
most borderline autobiography/fictions are like that

there are countless examples of exaggeration

>>8236961
I think the main source of the confusion of whether it's non-fiction is the fact that his reputation as a holocaust survivor precedes everything else. People just assume he writes what he experienced.

>>8236968
not denying that, its just the fact that its the holocaust. I can't think of a more touchy topic than that, and it certainly doesn't need twisting with what really happened.

>>8236963
True, but he's also the foundation of the Western literary canon
