ABSTRACT
Four years earlier, in the spring of 1993, President Clinton and Israeli President Chaim Herzog together with other dignitaries, attended the opening of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Elie Wiesel, the Nobel Prize-winning author and a survivor of Auschwitz, spoke at the dedication
ceremony. Wiesel told of the death of his mother in the camps and described his own experience there. “We found ourselves in an unfamiliar world, a creation parallel to God’s,” he said. “There were only two categories-those who were there to kill and those who were there to be killed.”
