Rabbi Walter Homolka shakes Francis' hand. (28 October 2015)
“In September 2008, the Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel startled his audience at a Holocaust Educational Trust appeal dinner in London when he declared: "I was there when God was put on trial at a concentration camp." When the JC put doubts of Rabbi Jonathan Romain and Rabbi Dan Cohn-Sherbock to Mr Wiesel, he replied: "Why should they know what happened? I was the only one there. It happened in Auschwitz at night; there were just three people. At the end of the trial, they used the word chayav, rather than 'guilty'. It means 'He owes us something'. Then we went to pray."”
