On March 1, 1995, at the time of the fiftieth anniversary of the
liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, ARTE (a French-German
state-funded television network) proposed an encounter between two
highly-regarded figures of our time: Elie Wiesel and Jorge Semprun.
These two men, whose destinies were unparalleled, had probably
crossed paths-without ever meeting-in the Nazi concentration camp
Buchenwald in 1945. This short book is the entire transcription of
their recorded conversation. During World War II, Buchenwald was
the center of a major network of sub-camps and an important source
of forced labor. Most of the internees were German political
prisoners, but the camp also held a total of 10,000 Jews, Roma,
Sinti, Jehovah's Witnesses, and German military deserters. In these
pages, Wiesel and Semprun poignantly discuss the human condition
under catastrophic circumstances. They review the categories of
inmate at Buchenwald and agree on the tragic reason for the fate of
the victims of Nazism-as well as why this fate was largely ignored
for so long after the end of the war. Both men offer riveting
testimony and pay vibrant homage to the Jewish victims of the
Holocaust. Today, seventy-five years after the liberation of the
Nazi camps, this book could not be more timely for its
confrontation with ultra-nationalism and antisemitism.
