If you watched President Obama's speech in Cairo, you would note that he mentioned that he was going to Buchenwald after Cairo. At Buchenwald, President Obama not only had a tour of the infamous concentration camp which claimed to kill 50,000 Jews --he was joined by the German Chancellor as well as the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize leaureate, Elie Wisel.
If you recall, at President Obama's speech in Cairo, he consistently stressed the importance of fostering religious tolerance.
Sooooooooooo....
I've included a youtube video featuring almost an hour and a half worth of footage that was filmed of a presentation by Elie Wiesel to a 2000 person crowd in Chicago.
It's part of the The Arthur N. Rupe Distinguised Dialogue Series hosted by the Boston University.
It's a different speech to one that Elie Wiesel is used to giving - he is invited as part of this Series to talk about himself and as you will find out, quite humously does so. Quite a funny bloke.
"The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference..."
