Evil and Exile by Elie Wiesel, Philippe De Saint-Cheron.
The eminent Holocaust scholar and novelist ranges widely over Jewish-Christian relations, anti-Semitism, politics, Hasidism and Jewish thought. On the Holocaust, Wiesel urges faith and conciliation rather than forgiveness or vengeance. He reports on widespread anti-Jewish prejudice in Japan, and terms "outrageous" assertions that the AIDS epidemic is a consequence of sin. He urges Jews to cooperate with the liberal movement within Christianity that seeks a rapprochement with Judaism. He also discusses the contributions of other writers to his vision--Kafka's sense of exile, Dostoyevsky's preoccupation with evil, Miguel de Unamuno's ordeal of doubt.
