Elie Wiesel is a well known Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate.
Wiesel was also a recipient of the Grand Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary.
Not anymore. He decided to repudiate the order. This is his means to protest the participation of László Kövér, Speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly, in a ceremony in Romania honoring the author József Nyirő, a member of Hungary’s national socialist Arrow Cross parliament in 1944-45.
Elie Wiesel had enough and I can’t blame him.
