Holly , thank you for the post . I hope you will update us if any new information comes to light . Just a quick observation . I find it interesting that this news is of so little interest in this Blog and in the msm .

This is horrible, no two ways about it.

Is it just that I’m paying more attention or are hate crimes actually on the rise?
I read that the KKK is rising again, exploiting the immigration anxieties in some border states, for example.

Holly – I am a Jew and a great admirer of Elie Wiesel and everything he has accomplished. However, I think it’s important to put it in perspective. Just because some anti-semetic nutcase tries to mug Elie, does not mean the sky is falling. Everyday there are hate crimes occuring(against Jews, Muslims and Christians) many with far worse consequences than befell Elie. Don’t get me wrong, I do not in any way, shape or form condone what happened to Elie, but most hate crimes would never hit the TMV blog pages.

Unbelievably sad. As long as I’m live, I will never understand how hate can so consume human beings that they feel compelled to deny reality and attempt to harm a fellow occupant of this globe. Over words and memories, nonetheless! How does this happen? I’m not naive. I know it happens. But honestly, somebody explain to me the how and why of hate.

Holly, thank you so much for posting this. I was planning on writing something on this, might still do so, but simply am not able to do it right now. Will try to post something later today but these couple of days are extremely busy for me.

Thanks again for posting this Holly.

It is an outrage.
