I've got a file INPUT that has the following contents:
I want to run my script like so: script.rb < INPUT and have it convert the contents of the INPUT file to an array, splitting on the new line character. So, I'd having something like myArray = [123,456,789]. Here's what I've tried to do and am not having much luck:
myArray = STDIN.to_s
puts field.size
I'm expecting this to print 3, but I'm getting 15. I'm really confused here. Any pointers?

Dressed in bright orange, their attorney at their side, the mother and stepfather face the judge.
Dale Brucker, 26, and Brianna Brucker, 20, both of 109 Mill St. in Campbellsville, have pleaded not guilty to murdering 3-month-old Charles Brett Hayden Jr.
Brianna Brucker is the child's mother and Dale Brucker is his stepfather.
After being indicted last month by a Taylor County grand jury following a nearly six-month investigation into the baby's death, the Bruckers were in Taylor Circuit Court on Tuesday afternoon for arraignment.
And during their appearance, the two, shackled at their wrists and ankles, each asked for their bonds to be reduced. The requests were denied.
The Bruckers were each charged with murder, which is a Class A felony punishable by as much as life in prison.
According to the indictment, the Bruckers caused trauma that led to the infant's death on July 22 at Kosair Children Hospital in Louisville. Local police say Hayden died of blunt force trauma.
Brianna Brucker appeared before Taylor Circuit Court Judge Allan Bertram first on Tuesday afternoon.
She told Bertram she was employed when she was arrested, and expects to continue to be if released from prison.
Bertram asked if she has hired an attorney to represent her, or would soon be able to with help from family members.
"I would like to," she told Bertram. "But I can't do nothing from in here."
Bertram appointed Shanda West-Stiles from the Department of Public Advocacy to represent Brianna Brucker.
West-Stiles entered a not guilty plea on Brianna Brucker's behalf and asked that future court hearings be set in the case.
A discovery conference was set for Tuesday, March 5, at 1 p.m. and a pretrial conference was set for Tuesday, April 9, also at 1 p.m.
West-Stiles said she understands the prosecutor's office opposes her client's $100,000 cash bond being reduced. However, she said, Brianna Brucker has appeared in court when scheduled to in other cases and would in this one.
West-Stiles said Brianna Brucker's grandmother was in the courtroom and would be willing to sign a form stating that her granddaughter will appear for her court dates, though she doesn't have any money to post as bond.
For a case of this nature, Bertram said, some cash will be required in return for Brianna Brucker's release from the Taylor County Detention Center.
Bertram said he can discuss the amount of Brianna Brucker's bond during her next court appearance, but will leave it at $100,000 cash until then.
Brianna Brucker's hearing lasted nine minutes. As a security officer escorted her back to a holding cell, she waved to family members in the audience, who told her they love her.
Dale Brucker appeared before Bertram for a three-minute hearing, at which he told Bertram that he has no source of income and, therefore, can't hire an attorney to represent him.
West-Stiles was appointed to also represent him. She asked that his bond, set at $125,000 cash, also be reduced.
"He is obviously unable to make that," she said.
Bertram said he declines to lower Dale Brucker's bond for now, though that can be discussed again at a later court date. Dale Brucker's case was also set for a discovery conference March 5 and a pretrial hearing on April 9.
Campbellsville Police Chief Tim Hazlette said last month that an investigation into Hayden's death began after someone called 911 and said the baby needed medical attention.
According to a Campbellsville Police news release from July, Campbellsville/Taylor County EMS personnel responded to a call reporting that the 3-month-old was unresponsive at the Mill Street home.
The infant was treated at Taylor Regional Hospital and later transported to Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, where he was pronounced dead.
An autopsy for the infant was conducted at the state medical examiner's office in Louisville.
TRH staff members notified law enforcement of the death after they found evidence that concerned them, Hazlette said.
In July, the death was simply being investigated and hadn't yet been ruled as accidental, from natural causes or as the result of a homicide. Since then, Hazlette said, police have continued the investigation by interviewing the Bruckers about their alleged involvement in the incident. He said they have also taken polygraph tests.
Hazlette said lab and medical examiner reports, which were shown to grand jurors, show that the infant died of non-accidental blunt force trauma to his head.
"It's unclear what manner that blunt force trauma was delivered," he said.
Hazlette said the investigation into the death took a while because it needed to be done correctly.
"We went through this pretty intensely," he said.
Campbellsville Police Detective David Tucker is investigating the case against the Bruckers.
Commonwealth's Attorney Shelly Miller is prosecuting the case.
The Bruckers are being housed at the Taylor County Detention Center.
As a condition should they be released, the two were ordered to not have contact with any children younger than 12.
• An indictment is a legal accusation only.

painting over a stained wall?
I have a not too terribly old home (1950) that I love. What I don't love is the color in one of the rooms. While most of the walls are plaster, there is a wall in the living room that the fire place is on which is made up of stained wooden planks. The molding and the beams in this room are also stained the same color, sort of an unattractive orange-red. I would very much like to change this color, and figure painting is easier than trying to strip and stain everything a different color. This wood is slightly glossy. I am guessing I would need to sand it thoroughly first and then prime and paint? Has anyone painted something like this before? Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks.
Taking gloss off the wood 1st - with some sanding fine grit will do - vacuum, wipe
Then a good stain killing primer -
then 2 coats of paint -
Do you plan on doing all the wood work?
Here is a link that might be useful: painting over stained wood
Sanding is a must. Not only would I vacuum it afterwards but use a tack cloth on it too. Tact cloths are made to get the tiny bits off the wall. You can find them at most places that sell paint and hardware.
Prime with a primer of good quality and if you know what color you are going to paint the wall afterwards ask that the primer be tinted that color. It makes painting it much easier if you have lots of grooves or pitting to cover up.
Make sure the nap of the roller is the correct one for the surfaces you are painting it makes a huge difference in the final outcome.
If you don't like the wood wall, you could also drywall right over it.
If you do that, perhaps 30-40 years from now, someone else will discover that hidden wall and cheer as he or she rips the drywall off!
thanks for all of the advice, and lol at Davidr. I had thought of drywall but never thought of the next set of owners cheering as they removed it. Next step is to investigate possible paint colors and decide how ready I am to tackle this job. Thanks again :)

My Alien (Cardassian) is married to his Operations Officer (Alien Cardassian). Other than that, all of my captains have only professional relationships with their crews. However, my KDF Science officer (Ferasan) has a history with my Fed Science officer (Caitian).
Ch'ula was raised in a colony in the Hromi Sector. Child to farmers, she always had an interest in health and science, a far departure from her species' natural instincts that made them excel in the tactical fields. She may have prefered science but, she was an avid hunter as well. She met Captain Kurr while he was on rotation to the colony. A Caitian in the service of the Federation, she was warned to stay away from him. Their common passion for science however drew them together. She bacame an understudy to Captain Kurr. She learned very quickly and after a couple of years working together, Captain Kurr began pushing her to join Starfleet. Considering that as an option to further her studies in science, she reluctantly agreed. Ch'ula was surprised to find that she had been accepted into the accademy. She would begin her studies in just three short months. Two weeks after her acceptance, Captain Kurr was reasigned as Captain of the USS Takao. The rest of the Starfleet contingent was pulled due to escalations of Klingon attacks on transport lanes. This did not deter her from her goals. Ch'ula was determined to try and find a way to work with her mentor someday. Five weeks til her departure, tragedy struck. The Borg attacked the colony. Many were assimilated. The lucky ones were killed, including her parents. Ch'ula and a small group survived the attack. Feeling abandoned by Captain Kurr and the Federation, she made her way to her people's homeworld of Ferasa. There she joined the Ferasan military hoping to one day exact revenge on those that she felt wronged her. When Ferasa allied with the Klingon Empire, Ch'ula immideately transfered to the Klingon Defense Force. Now in command of her own ship, she searches the stars for any chance to strike at Kurr and the Federation. To bring vengance upon her mentor turned nemesis.

Wiesel goes full-Jew in full-page advert attacking Iran as wanting to exterminate Israel
Written on February 14, 2015 at 12:15 pm, by Carolyn
By Carolyn Yeager
Elie Wiesel is featured in a new full-page ad placed in The New York Times and the Washington Post that is headlined: Iran's Plan for the Jews, Ancient and Present.
The ad is was organized, produced and paid for by New Jersey Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's "This World: The Values Network.US, an organization of which Boteach is Executive Director. The theme, text, politics and intent of the ad are all so Jewish as to give the message: We don't need you ordinary non-Jews to attend this speech; we're only addressing the voting members of Congress and the Jewish community.
The ad uses the totally fictional biblical Book of Esther as the backdrop for the storybook approach to presenting Iran as a wicked nation and the world's greatest enemy of the Jews. The story goes that a "wicked man" named Haman, a minister of the Persian King (whose biblical name is not mentioned in the ad since it is not historical) was discovered as having a plan to kill all the Jews in the kingdom. But a beautiful Jewish girl in the royal harem got word of it and told the King, who then discovered the plot to be true and hanged the wicked Haman and all of his accomplices. This has become the Feast of Purim celebrated every March 5 when "Jewish children in synagogues around the world will shout down the name of Haman when it is pronounced in the Book of Esther." After which each good little Jewish child receives a cookie in the shape of Haman, encouraging them to destroy Haman all over again by eating the cookie.
The moral of the story: As the brave Esther saved all her people then, the brave holocaust survivor Elie can do no less today. Netanyahu's speech on the day before Purim (scheduled for March 3) is presented as "an urgent message" on "the catastrophic danger of a nuclear Iran" that America needs to hear.
Though the ad is directed at President Obama, Vice President Biden and members of Congress, I think it is mainly directed to American Jews and Christian Zionists because Jews are divided over Netanyahu's visit – divided between Republicans and Democrats, between conservatives and liberals. Abe Foxmann of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) denounced a petition drive opposing Netanyahu's speech by the Democrat-leaning pro-Israel J Street as "inflammatory and repugnant." It's clear to me that Wiesel and Boteach both work for Israel – Wiesel since 1948. The prose of the ad is written in 4th – 6th grade level, which is the level of newspaper writing in general.
Text of the Ad:
Many centuries ago a wicked man in Persia advised: "There exists a nation scattered and dispersed among the others … it is not in our interest to tolerate them."
And the order went out to all the provinces "to annihilate, murder and destroy the Jews, young and old, children and women.
Now Iran, modern Persia, has produced a new enemy. The Ayatollah Khamenei has been as clear as his predecessor in declaring his goal: the "annihilation and destruction" of Israel. He is bent on acquiring the weapons needed to make good on the deadly promise.
The disaster of ages past was averted, but the event is remembered in the holiday of Purim. On March 5 Jewish children in synagogues around the world will shout down the name of Haman when it is pronounced in the Book of Esther. They understand a simple truth that at times eludes world leaders. [Oh brother, they just do what they're told without understanding a thing. -cy] When someone in power threatens your destruction, you must loudly condemn him.
On the day before Purim, the prime minister of Israel will address Congress on the catastrophic danger of a nuclear Iran. I intend to be there. Should we not show our support for what might be the last clear warning before a terrible deal is struck? Santayana wrote that those who cannot remember history are condemned to repeat it. I believe that those who deny history – specifically the Holocaust – are determined to repeat it.
President Obama, Vice-President Biden, distinguished members of Congress, I ask you – as one who has seen the enemies of the Jewish people make good on threats to exterminate us, how can I remain silent? [No you have not seen that. You lie. This whole website devoted to you proves it. But you are unwilling to answer a single question. The first one is: Why won't you show us your Auschwitz tattoo? It's not because of "privacy." It can only be because you don't have one but claim to have one. Which makes you quite a reckless liar. -cy ]
As Queen Esther said when addressing her King: "How can I behold the destruction of my people?"
I plead with you to put aside the politics that have obscured the critical decisions to be made. Surely it is within your power to find a solution that will permit Israel's Prime Minister to deliver his urgent message.
Will you join me in hearing the case for keeping weapons from those who preach death to Israel and America?
In traditional Jewish families we close the Sabbath with the lighting of the Havdalah candle and a quote from the Book of Esther retelling how danger was replaced by light and happiness, and the blessing: "And so may it be for us."

Elie Wiesel, like Caroline Glick, is disappointed the "Holocaust" has not eradicated antisemitism
Written on December 28, 2014 at 10:53 am, by Carolyn
Have we had enough of this theater yet? Do "holocaust" images like this have any effect on our sympathies? This is a well-aged, healthy looking "survivor" at the 69th Anniversary of the Auschwitz liberation on Remembrance Day, Jan. 27, 2014
By Carolyn Yeager
Wiesel: "I thought the memory of the Holocaust would shame those boasting anti-Semitic opinions. I was wrong." … Jan. 28, 2014
It becomes more clear all the time that the massive goodwill that Jews and "Israel" gained from the propaganda hoax they named "The Holocaust" has been depleted, due in large measure to Israel's uncivilized aggressive behavior against its neighbors in the Middle East.
But another major reason for the loss of goodwill is Israel's and world Jewish organizations' insatiable lust for ever more money and arms from Germany, the U.S. and all of Europe and North America. The Jews have played the phony guilt card for all its worth, and for a long time now (70 years!) – and it is finally wearing out. When Jews tell us that grandchildren of "survivors" are carriers of their grandparents' "trauma," that becomes the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Both Elie Wiesel and Caroline Glick have made statements in 2014 referring to the "Holocaust" as a way – a vehicle – to do away with "antisemitism," i.e. dislike of Jews. They thought the combination of the horrific atrocity stories camp survivors were able to dream up, and the incredible number of 6 million, plus having the governments of America, Britain and the Soviet Union on their side would keep Germans and all European people making amends to them for a good long time – long enough, anyway, for Jewish billionaires to completely consolidate their ownership/control of everything of value in the Western world (just as it's told in The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion).
But as it turns out, European men and women are more resilient than that. And then Jews, in their chutzpah, make plenty of mistakes, too. The end result, as we enter the year 2015, is that Jews, rather than feeling victorious, are crying and gnashing their teeth over "the rise of antisemitism in Europe."
Is there a conspiracy going on?
Today, I went looking for what I remembered as Elie complaining about antisemitism in the same way that Caroline Glick does. I quickly came upon it, and it was from January 28, 2014, the exact same day that Glick's blog post appeared! … the one I wrote about here. Coincidence?
They are both saying the same thing, each in their own way, on the day after the "International Holocaust Remembrance Day" on Jan. 27, which was not such a big success. The major news story it conjured up was that the Israeli Knesset sent a large delegation that marched around with giant blue and white flags, while having their picture taken. Elie Wiesel did not show up, which took away some of the news-worthy luster of the 2014 event.
It's interesting that Benjy Netanyahu was saying pretty much the same as Glick and Wiesel just recently:
"We saw today examples [...] of European prejudice. In Geneva, they are calling for an investigation against Israel for war crimes, while in Luxembourg the European court removed Hamas from the terrorist list. It looks like there are too many people in Europe, on the [same] ground where six million Jews were slaughtered, who haven't learned a thing. The friendship we see from the United States stands in complete contrast to what we are seeing regretfully in Europe."
Recall that Caroline Glick once worked as an assistant to Netanyahu. She and Elie Wiesel are both long-time Israeli assets, so do they coordinate their message?
What exactly did Wiesel say in this interview of eleven months ago?
"The Holocaust is a unique event, but it has a universal significance which must be memorized incessantly."
"Unfortunately, anti-Semitism still exists. It has been alive for more than 2,000 years, and will likely continue living. I thought that the memory of the Holocaust would shame those boasting anti-Semitic opinions. I was wrong. It still exists in different countries, and it seems people are no longer ashamed to be anti-Semitic."
"The modern anti-Semite is, first and foremost, anti-Israel. It's very difficult to separate between the two." (Anti-Israelism and antisemitism)
"There are anti-Semites who are only anti-Israel. Once I thought that anti-Semitism had ended; today it is clear to me that it will probably never end. It might weaken sometimes, but it will continue existing, because in different countries there is no shame in being an anti-Semite. We must remember that anti-Semitism led to Auschwitz. Without anti-Semitism there would have been no Auschwitz."
"It's clear to me that one can't be Jewish without Israel. Religious or non-religious, Zionist or non-Zionist, Ashkenazi or Sephardic — all these will not exist without Israel. The [Israeli] State's existence is the oxygen of the image and ideas of the new anti-Semitism."
"Recent attacks on Jews in the United States are expressions of anti-Semitism, yet we can't talk about an anti-Semitic movement but about groups of anti-Semites which operate in different places, and we don't know how many members they have. This reality must also concern us, because it could expand."
The difference between Wiesel and Glick is that he did not say the Jan. 27th International Holocaust Remembrance Day made antisemitism worse, not better, but he DID rather dismiss it by saying that in the United States it is only marked with an event held at the UN building.
He agrees with Glick that the real American commemoration is on Yom haShoah, the same day as for the State of Israel. According to Yoel Rappel, the Israeli whom Wiesel appointed to be the director of his archive at Boston University, it was Wiesel who proposed this day to the American Congress when he was chairman of the President's Commission on the Holocaust under President Carter. It has become a "fixed tradition" in the U.S., said Rappel. ~
Holocaust Industry continues to prepare for the death and sainthood of Elie Wiesel

Childhood home of biggest con-man in holocaust history becomes "education center" for hoax-a-cost lies
Museum to open May 18 in the Romanian town of Sighet
The "learning center" will be dedicated to the alleged 13,000 local holocaust victims who will have been receiving monthly checks from the Federal Republic of Germany for the past 65 years (either they or their relatives).
This rip-off "education center" is sponsored by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, the Romanian Jewish Federation* and Limmud FSU, plus the Government of Romania and the City of Sighet (it's good for tourism). Interesting that the Conference on JMClaims can spend the money it gets from Germany on projects like this, but it can … on the basis that it somehow helps survivors. Indeed, it helps them to keep up their fiction. *I can't find an organization of this name.
Everything is being done to establish physical memorials to Elie Wiesel in as many locations around the world as can be conjured up, in consideration of his advanced age (85) and inevitablility that his death could come at any time. As usual, though, the Jewish interests behind the "Elie Wiesel Legend" seek to use as much Goyim money as possible to cover the costs. Wiesel himself has been doing that exact thing during his entire career as a professional victim and survivor.
Elie a no-show at Auschwitz event, but delivers an interview saying Jews can't be Jews without Israel
Written on February 2, 2014 at 11:48 am, by Carolyn
Elie Wiesel, right, in his office at Boston University with his Israeli editor, Yoel Rappel, whose interview with the famous survivor was published on January 28th in Israel's Y-Net News.
"Personal reasons" has been given for Elie Wiesel's failure to attend this year's annual International Day of Commemoration in Memory of Victims of the Holocaust at Auschwitz-Birkenau January 27th. This United Nations-declared commemoration day (since 2006) is being incorrectly called "Holocaust Memorial Day" or "Holocaust Remembrance Day" by the media and others who don't feel like repeating the long, actual title.
The latter can become a problem because, as Wiesel's interviewer pointed out in what follows : "The American nation officially commemorates the memory of the victims of the Holocaust on the same day as the State of Israel" — that is, on Yom Hashoah according to the Hebrew calendar, which falls in the Spring (April or May). This event is called "Days of Remembrance" and lasts for 7 days, beginning on Saturday evening Shabbat and ending at Shabbat one week later. In this, like in so much else, the U.S. is in lock-step with Israel (with Israel leading, the United States Congress following).
However, both the U.S. and Israel also support and join in with the newer January 27th United Nations-proclaimed commemoration, since it was conceived and pushed through the UN by the State of Israel! See here at bottom of page. That gives the world two major "Holocaust remembrance" events, all the better to "engrave" the holocaust into the minds of all humanity, but especially Western man.
The Interviewer
Yoel Rappel grew up in Israel and lived most of his life there. We're not told if he was born there, but it seems so. He worked 40 years as a journalist and senior program editor at the Israel Broadcasting Authority, Israel's main radio channel. Before coming to Boston University as Visiting Scholar at the Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies, he also taught at Bet Berl College, the Avshalom Institute for Israel Studies, and served as content manager at the Center for Jewish Identity in Bar Ilan University … all in Israel.
He serves as project manager for the Elie Wiesel Archive. He is the editor of the Hebrew editions of Prof. Wiesel's books "The Biblical Soul," "The Hasidic Soul" and "The Talmudic Soul," which were published in Hebrew by the Yedioth Books publishing house. [Getting everything ready for Elie Wiesel's coming sainthood -cy]
The Interview
[Rappel points out that it was Wiesel who coined the expression, "Not all victims were Jews, but all Jews were victims." ]
Wiesel: "The Holocaust is a unique event, but it has a universal significance which must be memorized incessantly."
[The reason for this, Rappel tells us, is so it will be engraved in people's minds, so that the events of 1939-1945 will not repeat themselves and the world will not be indifferent and silent*, as it was then.] *A reference to the Yiddish book, "And the World Remained Silent" claimed to have been written by Wiesel.
Wiesel: "Unfortunately, anti-Semitism still exists. It has been alive for more than 2,000 years, and will likely continue living. I thought that the memory of the Holocaust would shame those boasting anti-Semitic opinions. I was wrong. It still exists in different countries, and it seems people are no longer ashamed to be anti-Semitic."
[Rappel says "the murky wave of anti-Semitism sweeping over the Western world, as well as Eastern Europe (with the recent incidents in Hungary and Ukraine), is fresh.]
Wiesel: "The modern anti-Semite is, first and foremost, anti-Israel. It's very difficult to separate between the two. There are anti-Semites who are only anti-Israel. Once I thought that anti-Semitism had ended; today it is clear to me that it will probably never end. It might weaken sometimes, but it will continue existing, because in different countries there is no shame in being an anti-Semite. We must remember that anti-Semitism led to Auschwitz. Without anti-Semitism there would have been no Auschwitz."
[Rappel says that Wiesel is one of the State of Israel's greatest advocates, and that Wiesel argues that the fundamental problem {today?} is the attitude towards Israel and not anti-Semitism.]
Wiesel: "It's clear to me that one can't be Jewish without Israel*. Religious or non-religious, Zionist or non-Zionist, Ashkenazi or Sephardic – all these will not exist without Israel. The State's existence is the oxygen of the image and ideas of the new anti-Semitism." *Dangerous, fanatical talk. It follows that if Israel goes, so also do Jews. With that thinking, anything is allowed to Jews to prevent it … is what Wiesel is getting at. The failure of Israel would be another form of "extermination of the Jews," another "holocaust." -cy
[Wiesel is asked whether the public dispute over circumcision and ritual animal slaughter also stem from anti-Semitism.]
Wiesel: "In my opinion, it stems first of all from ignorance and disregard of the Jewish faith. Those who raise such ideas and others will soon come up with the idea to cancel Shabbat, so that Jews will rest on Sunday. It's more of a case of ignorance, and it leads to harassment against the foundations of Judaism."
[Rappel wants to know if the different phenomena experienced recently by the Jewish community in the United States can be defined as anti-Semitism.]
Wiesel: "There are expressions of anti-Semitism, yet we can't talk about an anti-Semitic movement but about groups of anti-Semites which operate in different places, and we don't know how many members they have. This reality must also concern us, because it could expand."
What Wiesel Missed – Members of Israeli parliament, the Knesset, ceremoniously and ostentatiously mark the 69th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz in Oswiecim, Poland on Jan. 27, 2014. The delegation spokesman made it a point to say that the difference between then and now is that they now have a state and a military force of their own with which to protect themselves.
More Letters of the Week
Written on October 18, 2013 at 5:46 am, by Carolyn
In January 2011, I featured a Letter of the Week from Hailey S. In November the same year I featured two more, from Shelby and Sarah. Now I have received three more complaints about this site from (another?) Hailey, a Katie and a Lauren — right in a row. Thank you ladies!
But it's an odd thing — the latest three were all sent from the same computer. And with an email address that ends in the same edu., which I won't reveal. I'm not even sure it's legitimate … that is, a real school. Could these young ladies be friends conspiring together in writing their comments? Could they even be the same person using different names and slightly different email addresses?
The content and point of view is similar, but written in different ways. You will find that "belief" and "believing" are the major basis for, well, believing the "holocaust." These comments are also similar to the earlier ones I published from Hailey S, Shelby and Sarah, although better written and thought-out. So I could reply to them all together, but since they are written to three different blog articles they appear on different pages. This is why I decided to reply to them here, under the title of "More Letters of the Week."
First, from Hailey, who sent her comment to "Elie's Adventures in Buchenland" on Oct. 14:
I find the trivialization of the Holocaust extremely disgusting. It maybe that some don't believe that Elie Wiesel was an actual part of the Holocaust, but that does not mean anyone has the right to make fun of or make light of a horrific historical event. An event that almost entirely wiped out an entire group of people. There is an amount of dignity that must be maintained when dealing with this horrific time in history.
I already replied to Hailey on that page, so I'll just say here that she's free to express her feelings but I hope she understands that that is all she's doing. Hailey has been indoctrinated into believing that "Holocaust survivors" are telling the truth about their "horrific" suffering and that "an entire group of people [by which she means Jewish people] were almost entirely wiped out." Honest research has shown otherwise, but Hailey prefers to ignore this research.
The second comment is from Katie, who sent her comment to "Elie Wiesel Was Not in Buchenwald Made Simple" on Oct. 16:
I think that there could be a logical explanation to explain the holes in Elie's story. I cannot bring myself to believe that someone would fictionalize a story on the holocaust and its terrible events. When someone under goes a traumatic event they will most likely not be able to remember every detail perfectly therefore he may have been confused on the dates and times. Elie has also grown older in age which also may make it difficult for him to remember. His book Night, is very detailed and descriptive which makes it difficult to believe that he could make those events up. This blog also states that Elie has not been asked to explain his discrepancies in his "tale". Could it possibly be because there is no solid proof to question his story? And if he wasn't actually a survivor than his book is still an incredible account of a Jewish person in the Holocaust and is still educational and provides people with an insight to the terrible things that happened.
Poor logic here. Katie says, "I cannot bring myself to believe …" — she is also putting her belief first. How many times can we repeat that reality is not about belief. It's about facts and evidence. Belief belongs in religion — in this case the religion they have all been brought up in: Holocaustism.
Katie brings up belief a second time, saying in essence that after reading Night, she finds it "difficult to believe that he could make those events up." But Wiesel is primarily a fiction writer and has made up lots of stories about Jews; in fact Night was for a long time listed and sold as fiction! Good fiction makes us believe it's real even when we know better.
As to the "logical explanation" Katie thinks could be found, she doesn't come up with one. Illogically, she says that Elie was traumatized and thus not able to remember well. But Elie has always said he waited for 10 years to write his book so that he would have a clearer mind about it. Her other "logical explanation" is: Elie is now elderly and has a poor memory, thus he gets mixed up on dates and times. But Elie wrote Night in 1955, and it is in this book that the problems exist — the book itself is inaccurate and inconsistent. Since that time he has continued to say different things — inconsistent things.
Katie's final remark falls back on what the bulk of "Holocaust" defenders come up with: Even if he wasn't a survivor, it's still an "incredible [fictional] account" providing an insight into the terrible things that happened. How does he know what happened if he wasn't there? He made it all up, taking the framework for what others had already said about it. Stop defending this multi-millionaire shyster, Katie.
Third, is Lauren, who sent her comment to "Ken Waltzer inadvertently supplies proof that Elie Wiesel was not at Buchenwald" on Oct. 16:
I find this constant speculation about the validity of the Holocaust and its survivors extremely disturbing. The Holocaust was not a glamorous event, therefore, I find it hard to believe that someone would make up a story about being a victim of such tragedy. While I realize that many people would consider my opinion to be a 'too optimistic' view of human nature and morality, there is a lot of information to support the fact that Elie Wiesel was at the camp without the information that Mr. Waltzer is supposedly with-holding.
Once more, we find the belief mode: "I find it hard to believe that someone would make up a story…" Why? Hundreds of fake survivors have done so. What does it take for you to give up this childish belief in a religion of sadistically persecuted Jews?
You say it is not a glamorous event … but for ordinary "non-glamorous" Jews it is the ultimate stardom, and a very lucrative source of money too. Not only from the books they write, but also from the talks they give on the "speakers circuit" — and how they love all that respectful attention. They also love fooling so many Gentiles.
You say "there is a lot of information to support the fact that Elie Wiesel was at the camp …" No, there isn't! This entire web site is devoted to showing that the alleged "information" is false or simply does not exist. Yet you cling to your belief in the non-existent. That is religion, not history, Lauren.
You are also mis-stating the case when you say Mr. Waltzer is withholding information. He is withholding nothing, for he doesn't have the information he claims. Your Mr. Waltzer is another fraud who's been caught in his frivolous promises. I know it's tough for you to accept. But logic should tell you that if Waltzer had the information he would have put it out there already. He is embarrassing himself as a university professor by remaining silent and not publishing it. In failing to do so, he is proving my point … not yours.
Well, young ladies, thanks for your written words. They are a treasure. You are of course welcome to write again, but I caution you that I expect you to address my replies to you in some way. If you just write more of the same I probably won't publish it. I don't want to bore the readers. So step up to the plate!
